QUICK TRIP TO HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS

Travel in the Ark La Tex area (where Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas come together - I didn't make it up!) has been a challenge for the Verizon aircard, our link to the internet. We are generally able to read and send email, but some of the more advanced uses of the internet (posting to our blog and, specifically, posting photos) work only occasionally.

Today seems to be one of the days we can't post photos, but that should change once we get to the Big City, Memphis, on Wednesday afternoon. I have beautiful photos of the blooming dogwoods, the swamp cypress, redbud trees... and the slice of Peanut Butter Pie that topped off our meal of catfish and shrimp at the Cajun Boiler in Hot Springs last night.

When we visit Memphis, we stay across the Mississippi in West Memphis, Arkansas, at a favorite RV Park, Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park, where we can watch the heavily loaded, blocks long barges move up and down the river in front of Scoopy. If you take a look at the link, you can picture us out on the front row, where we have a reservation for one week.
