Cleo in Arkansas
Arkansas
On the way to the next – 13% grade down – and the break controller gets an error message with “no connection”. Uuuuuh ….. not good – but we made it down ok.
Next stop is Mr. Magazine
Our campsite
A walk to the highest point in Arkansas.
The park has a very nice lodge, hotel, cabins and restaurant.
The view from the lodge.
And my little friends come to visit us.
We have often seen fire flies – but never seen that many of them.
Next stop is Petit Jean State Park
Our campsite.
We meet with our friends Al & Mary from Cape Coral here … their campsite.
Another great CCC built lodge in the park …
… very nice hiking trails.
A massive natural bridge.
The “Grotto” with waterfall
We walk some trails together with Al & Mary
The “Bear Cave”
One of the CCC picnic shelters.
The “Turtle Rocks”
“Rock House Cave” is huge! … can you see little Susanne?
We walk down to the waterfall.
… and see the rocks here …
… nature created a “stick figure” 🙂
One evening Spanish Night with Sangria …
… and Paella at our camper.
One night Al make a very nice campfire – and Mary cooks Chili-Mac (sorry forgot the photo!)
We got some interesting visitors too! A Praying Mantis!
A “Bag Worm”
… and 9 (!) raccoons at night.
