Yesterday I did the drive to Eufaula Oklahoma without incident. My RV park was 9 miles off of I-40 in a beautiful river area. The park was very nice other than the cable TV was having problems. I’m sure they will get it fixed and I’m happy to give them a good review.
Today was another great drive. I woke up early and hit the road soon after 8 AM in a light rain. As I’m heading down the road I’m passed by a tow truck towing a good size truck (e.g., the size of a 26’ Uhaul). Only it was being towed backwards so I caught this shot out my windshield going 60 MPH down the freeway.
I crossed over from Oklahoma into Arkansas and it was like going from open fields to wooded roadway instantly. I’m wondering if some “Johnny Appleseed” went through Arkansas planting trees and stopped at the state line. All of the trees are starting their fall change of color. Not as dramatic as New England or the Appalachian trail but nice just the same. I’m thinking of adding a GoPro to the grill of the RV so I can extract good photos of the drive.
Good news is this RV park is close to the freeway. Bad news is it is really close to the freeway. Catch a photo of the view out my front window.
Right now I’m checking the reviews on all of my future RV parks. Turns out darn near any cesspool can pass a Good Sam inspection. But I’d have chosen better if I’d read the reviews. This place is a mud hole. Turns out the entry to the “frontage road” is through the Shell gas station. I’ll blame Google Maps for sending me in through the “truck entrance”. It was all mud and I’m sure that if it weren’t for a few small cars trapped in the potholes I’d never have gotten through.
Here are a few pictures.
Also, there is no cable TV here so I pulled out the little digital equivalent of rabbit ears that I bought in Needles AZ. Just needed to get it facing out the windshield. Duct tape to the rescue again.
