Downtown Russellville Photowalk

 We've been back in OKC for a couple of days now, we were only going to stay for a week while Sheryl attends the Baby Shower. We decided with the 4th of July coming up, we didn't want to try and find a park then, so we went ahead and upped for two weeks.

Before leaving Russellville, I went to the Old Downtown area for a little Photowalk. I love the old downtown's of small town America, especially the one with the Town Squares. Russelville doesn't have a town square, however they have a fully restored old train station and have some very unique back alleys.

 Old train cars outside the station

 Original Billboards

 Flowers brighten the streets

 Painted windows behind an Art Studio

 Alleyway Patio

 Dr Pepper at the old Drug Store

 Rock Island Cars

 New Blooms against old Architecture

 Imagine the beauty in everything, because you never know if it's the last thing you will see.

Train Station and Tracks

Hope you enjoyed the shots, next time your in a small town, look down an alley or just under the surface, you never now what little gems you mite uncover.

Take Care and we'll see you next time.....................

New Friends and Goooooood Eaten!!!

 Yesterday evening we had quite the gathering here at the RV Park. Bob and Michelle who we met while in Oklahoma have several friends in this area and were able to get everyone together for a BBQ. It was quite the time, we got to meet new friends and enjoyed socializing with everyone.

However, the real star of the show was the Q, ribs and brisket to be precise.......yummy. Our Pit Master was one of Bob's long time friends who came down just for this occasion and cook up a storm for us!!!
Ahhhh the Fulltime Lifestyle, traveling the country and meeting new friends along the way, that's what it's all about...............................take care and see ya next time!!!

Russellville, AR.

 After riding out the rains in OKC for what seemed like days on end, we were able to make our escape and head towards Arkansas. A pretty uneventful 4 hour drive landed us in Russellville, AR and the Old Post Corps of Engineers (COE) Park on the Arkansas River. We scored a pretty good site, all thanks to our friends that were already here (more on them later).

 They reserved a site for us right next to them and right on the river. This our first time using a COE Park and we never realized they were so nice and for the NP Access Pass Price of 10.00 a night, you can't go wrong. Each site has water and elec but no sewer connection, so you do need to dump as needed. We are here for a week as of now and maybe a few days longer, but we'll decide on that later. Our only complaint, be it a minor one, is there is very poor over the air TV reception, 2 channels if your lucky and they come and go at will. There's also no radio stations to be had either, we found both these things kinda odd considering how close to town the park is. All in all a really nice park.

One of my many minor projects I've been meaning to do for some time now, was to get the garden flag holder set up on our flag pole. Well a quick trip to Lowes and a few minutes of time took care of that project Lickity Split

The other reason we were able to leave OKC (we were going to anyway) was my dentist put in a rush job for my crown. Luckily it came in on Monday and they were able to get me in that day, now I don't have to worry about going back or waiting another month to have it put on.

As I'm sitting here typing we are getting hit with Tropical Storm (or whats left of it) Bill. We're hoping it blows over and we can salvage the rest of the week and get out and do some exploring.

So that's all for now, we'll see you back here again soon.............................
