Catch Up and Wrap Up

 The last post I made was several days ago so I'm playing catch up. This current campground is also my last one before reaching my homebase of Mansfield, Louisiana which I plan to get to tomorrow around noon. I'm not sure how long I'll be there before the next trip, but it will be at least a month since that is what I'll initially pay for.

These are the campgrounds I've been at since last posting. All were two day stays except Boomland which was a one night stay. 

Locations:

Ray Behren's COE Campground; about 30 miles southwest of Hannibal, Missouri

Boomland RV Park; Charleston, Missouri (southeast corner of the state)

Willow Beach COE Campground; North Little Rock, Arkansas

Rocky Point COE Campground; about 15 miles southwest of Texarkana, Texas

Before I get into the pictures, here are some statistics from this current trip. Over a period of 31 days, I towed Liberty 2,400 miles through 6 states. I stayed in 8 - COE's, 2 - State Parks, 1 - County Park, 1 - Private Park. The average campground cost was about $15.00/night. It was a quick trip because I wanted to take advantage of the RV Rally in Goshen to have my refrigerator and door replace. Having those two things replaced for free at the Rally saved me at least $3,000.00. I do not want to make a quick trip like that again. Two-night stays may be OK occasionally, but not this many so close together.

Either southeast Iowa or northeast Missouri. It was good weather for traveling.

Campsite at Ray Behran COE campground. It's a nice one. I stayed there before so no exploration.

Campground at Boomland RV Park, Charleston, Missouri. It's a private campground that runs on an honor system for $20.00 per night. Full hook-ups. I've stayed here before too. It is a good stop if you're passing through the area. 

Willow Beach COE campground near North Little Rock, Arkansas. Easy access to the interstates without having to go into Little Rock. Like Boomland, it is located in a good spot and very peaceful. 

I used my last box of Jambalaya. The protein was hamburger, sausage and chicken. There are boxes just like this for gumbo and red beans/rice also. I haven't been able to find them in any Walmart up north. I usually stock up on them before leaving on a trip.

I'm guessing this is maybe eastern Arkansas because I think that is rice growing on the right. 

Campsite at Rocky Point COE campground, just southwest of Texarkana, Texas. That's Wright Patman Lake in the background. This is the campground I usually use to de-compress after a trip up north. Even with the Labor Day crowds, it's still pretty peaceful. I'm about 2 hours from Mansfield. It will be an easy tow tomorrow and I hope to arrive around noon,

The view out my door here at Rocky Point COE. That is looking west and I've captured several pretty good sunsets over the lake in the past, but not last night. Hopefully, there will be one tonight.

Rocky Point is a good walking campground. This is a thinking bench flanked by two birdhouses probably for Purple Martins who help keep the mosquitoes under control. Surprisenly, I haven't have to put up with much skeeters on the trip. 

I have lots of things on my mind but this post doesn't feel like the place to lay it all out. 

Ya'll take care of each other. Maybe I'll Cya down the road.
