Day 3 Wynne, Arkansas

Day 3-Wynne, Arkansas

Found a hot spot outside the boathouse so I can send the blog. Yay! 


After a 4 hour drive we arrived at Village Creek State Park.  On the way I was looking to see what the distance was to the places I wanted to go do and see (should have done that before I got all excited). One of the biggest places I wanted to 
go to was the Crater of Diamonds. It was a place where you actually mine for diamonds . There still are diamonds there and in fact the state record for size was found not so long ago. Anyway, I was excited and Riley was actually excited too. She wanted me to bring her a diamond so badly. Found out it was 4 1/2 hr. trip one way. Too far. Not happening. I also wanted to see Blanchard Springs Caverns which I found out was also a 4 1/2 hr. trip. So will be able to go see  Crawley’s Ridge which is a geologic anomaly for this part of Arkansas. It’s an hour away, so that’s doable. Will also do the little hike I had planned. We were going to walk the Military Rd. Trail which is part of the route of the Indians on the Trail of Tears. That one is closed due to storm damage. If the weather permits I’m going to the beach at Lake Dunn (right in the Park). The only negative so far is the heat. In the 90’s even at night. However, I’m thankful because I’d rather it be hot and dry than poring rain. It was great crossing the mighty Mississippi River. God has sure created a beautiful world. I am missing my family and I’m sure I’ll be getting irritated at our cramped quarters, but hopefully we can be outside most of the time. Until later, God bless.

Day 8 Fun with family

Day 8 Joe informed me that my days were off by one. Oh well, I’ve told you everything I needed to say so I’m continuing with the day I’m on.😊 Today was a fun day with family. Went over to Chuck and Marilyn’s house for breakfast . She’s such a good cook. We had fruit, quiche, and blueberry muffins. Delicious. They have remodeled their house since we were here last. Looks beautiful. My niece and her family came over for lunch. It was great seeing my niece Brandi, and my great niece Margaret. We were also celebrating Brandon’s ((Brandi’s husband) birthday. Marilyn cooked a shrimp boil. Have never had that. You put a lot of things together in a pot and cook. She had corn on the cob, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and onions. It was very good. Then time for luscious desserts. My great niece made homemade key lime pie, my favorite. Brandon made a homemade blackberry pie. Ice cream and brownies as well. Needless to say I only had a small salad for dinner. In the middle of all this eating ...

Day 27...Yellowstone

Day 27-Yellowstone  Day 27- Yellowstone Well we have no cell or internet so I haven’t been able to post this in a timely manner. Hopefully, we’ll find someplace tomorrow with good cell service or wi-fi. So today was full of adventure . We woke up early to head out to see the sight. The first place we visited was the West Thumb Geyser Basin. What a sight to behold. All this places in the ground with bubbling water/mud . It is so unreal to think about all that’s going on below the service. Got good pictures. Our purpose today was to see critters. Supposedly they are to be found in the Hayden Valley and the Lamar Valley. Hayden is known for its bison and Lamar is known for grizzlies, bears, wolves and other critters. We were not disappointed in Hayden . We saw all kinds of buffalo and got some decent pictures. We also went to the Mud Volcano and it is as it’s name implies. Hot, hot bu...

Day 16 Standing on the Corner

Day 16 Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers in FB land. Hope you all had a great day. Joe and I had a different and fun celebration. We are staying in Homolovi State Park which is Hopi Indian land. There are two main archeological sites. Currently there are not digs going on but we hiked to two of the sites. They have uncovered  two Pueblo’s  (villages) which were fascinating. They have uncovered several rooms and even a kiva (religious room). There were plenty of pottery shards that have been found. There have been vandals here so now it’s a crime to take stuff. There are signs all over the place. Anyway, between the 2 hikes we probably walked a mile or so. It was hot and we were climbing up on a Mesa so we were winded. I have been drinking lots of water so I think i’m doing better with regards to dehydration. After the hikes, we went to downtown Winslow and got pictures at the “Standing On The Corn...
