Friday, 2 June - DeGray Lake Resort State Park, Bismarck, AR

Yay, we saw fire bugs last night, they are sooo sparkly and bright!  Wanna bring some home! 

It was a bit drizzly during the afternoon and into the evening so we ended up eating inside last night.  We had such a good sleep, it's much cooler in the forest and it is so quiet here - not a train to be heard : )

Woke to sunshine and peacefulness!  Stooged around for awhile, tidying up some of the bays underneath, cleaning, reading and then we went for a meander along the 'Saginaw Historical Hiking Trail' which follows an old narrow-gauge railroad bed used by lumbermen around  the 1900’s.  The track took us right down to the lake so we got to dip our toes in the water!  It was only a mile or so but that was as much as wanted to do today.  Only wildlife visible were squirrels and birds but there was evidence of deer.

It was hot and by the time we got back to the coach we were ready for an ice cold water and a relax outside in our recliners under the shade of the tall pines surrounding our campsite.  Being a Friday there was a lot of comings - less goings, but it was interesting watching it all happen around us.

We are moving on tomorrow and tried to book in at a campsite right on the river bank in the centre in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, but due to the River Festival being held this weekend, they have no vacancies.  Hmm, a rethink is necessary  : )  Might go a bit further, to Memphis, TN.


Tonight we cooked dinner out on the grill over a bed of charcoal and wood - and very good it was too!  Fillet steak wrapped in bacon, taties baked in the embers served with sour cream and dill, fried onions, tomatoes and broccoli – yum yum!  Satiated!
