It's September the seventeenth 2016 and our goal for the day is Texarkana. Literally, as far as you can go on TX-82 and still be in Texas. Since we were going to end our day in a little more populated area we searched for a park last night and have called ahead to be sure there is space available. We'll be staying at Shady Pines RV Park on the southwest side of Texarkana. It will be our first privately owned campground since Bartlesville, Ok back in mid July.
We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival at Shady Pines. The park appeared to be almost new and looked to have been designed by someone that knew what RV'ing was all about. The roads were wide, the sites were level and comfortably spaced. The park had trees but they were strategically planted so as not to interfere with getting in or out when fully mature. There was a very nice small lake for catch-and-release fishing and there was a grand meeting room that was custom built for accommodating rallies. All the utilities were great plus they had a strong WiFi signal.
Shady Pines is well done. Great sites - wide, level, easy in-easy out. All driving surfaces paved. |
Big Rigs welcome at Shady Pines. |
After sleeping in the next morning both of us are not exactly ginned up to get on the road. And this campground is so inviting there is no motivation to leave. The beauty of full timing is that we can choose to extend our stay, if space is available. And since it is, we are.
We do have some pressure to press on though. Our daughter's family is moving soon. They have a contract on the one they are selling and the one they are buying. Things are starting to happen, packing has commenced and movers have been contracted. They need us there by move day to take care of the grand baby while they do the juggling act of a double closing.
EVERYTHING is getting boxed up for the move. |
The pantry had all kinds of staple foods such as flours made from a variety of grains and nuts, a huge variety of fresh made jams and jellies plus fresh made sausages and cheeses. We picked out a few flavors of cheese a couple sausage blends and some of the freshest crackers we have ever had and went back to the camper and nibbled on what were essentially horderves the rest of the day.
