Robby had a call this morning which I had planned to be up and read during. However, I slept through it and most of the morning long. I even slept through a rain shower which cooled things off incredibly. We walked to the end of the loop, and when we came back we started getting the camper ready to pull out.
Getting the camper ready to leave really doesn't take too long-especially with two of us working. We were able to load up the car without any problems at all. Then we headed down the mountain. We stopped at one pull out so Robby could let a car pass him and to check his tow straps. They have a tendency to come lose, but they held tight today.
We drove right to Millwood State Park near Ashdown. We had done some of the drive a day ago when we went to Cossatot State Park. We made it just fine which is always a relief when we go anywhere in the camper now. Even though we have a had a few successful trips without any problems especially tire problems, we feel like we are just holding our breath the whole time.
This state park is a bit on the smaller side-campground wise. However, it has a huge fishing lake. Our site is really great-shade (not so great during the thunderstorm this evening though), a lake view with a swing, and a decent loop to walk.
We unhooked the camper and settled into our site for a bit. We had some pimento cheese and wheat thins for a late lunch before loading up with Bentley in the car to head to Conway Cemetery State Park. It is way down south-only about an hour from here though.
You probably won't be surprised that we were the only people at the cemetery which is where Arkansas' first governor was buried. He was from the area, but the area was looking pretty sad on our visit. We did find a mural that we stopped at to take picture.
On our way to pick up a pizza in Ashdown for supper tonight, we could tell that it was about to start storming. Robby made it back in the car right before the rain came. It rained pretty heavy on the drive back to the camper, but then on lightly rained on us during our supper.
After the rain stopped, we were able to take a walk around the loop. For this being a small park, we were surprised that there are a decent number of campers here tonight. We have our show to watch in a bit and possibly some more cookies for dessert (we have eaten all of the ice cream).
