Continue Down the Road

Saturday, June 8, 2019 - West Memphis, AR

This morning we were back on the road and headed for West Memphis, AR.  We arrived at Tom Sawyer's Mississippi Rive RV Park about mid-afternoon.

While I was checking in the lady asked how many nights we were staying and I told her only one.  Then she informed me that they will probably have to close again tomorrow.  According to the Army Corps of Engineers website, the Mississippi was due to start rising again tomorrow.  And this park is right on the Mighty Mississippi.  Most of the sites in the park are still closed due to high water, but the area we were in was "high" ground compared to most of the sites.

After we were all set up we walked over to the river and let Gracie do a little swimming.  Her very favorite thing to do.

I also took a couple of pictures of a couple of barges going down the Mississippi.  Going up river was slow going, but going down I think they had the engines in reverse.

For dinner we ate at Mi Pueblo, a very nice little Mexican restaurant.

It was another wonderful day!
