Louisiana Purchase was in 1803, this you already knew. Friday, November 11, 2022, you knew this about the Louisiana Purchase – but did you know about the initial point from which ALL surveys of property acquired through the Louisiana Purchase originated. This is where it all started the Louisiana Purchase, where for $15 million dollars …

Date 2/23 to 2/27 We’re making our way towards South Dakota because I need to renew my Drivers License in person this year. Hopefully we’ll be able to renew Mary’s at the same time otherwise we’ll be making another trip to SD later in the year. Anyway, from Savannah we drove mostly west while keeping …

The last one for a while

Unless something unexpected crops up this will be the last post until sometime, probably, mid May, we’re on our way to Indiana where we will be staying 2-6 weeks, we haven’t done much since the last post. In Arkansas, we’re staying near a low river bottom and the entire area was flooded so we were …

Prime Bigfoot Country

March 14, 2021 / Rex / 0 Comments

3/11/2021 While I didn’t see any today I’m sure they were watching us. I ain’t Zxactly sure, but it peers to me that the Federal Government, or someone, maybe even the coalition of Bigfoot Hiding Spots Inc., owns a big chunk of land where the Arkansas River and the Mississippi River join up. Anyways, we …

Another Who Knew!

3/12/2021 Alligators in Arkansas? Who knew, right? That thought never crossed my mind – but they are here and not just small ones but some really big ones apparently. They even have an alligator hunting season here in the fall. Had I not just picked up a brochure on alligators at the Arkansas Post a …

Arkansa is the biggest rice producer in the USA, planting 1,466,600 in 2003, who knew, right. Anyway, to get into the campground you need to pass under some conveyers that are use to take the rice from the grain bins to the barges. The port here handles rice of course, corn and beans also, per the …

Arkansas Post National Memorial

The Big Thaw. We survived the big freeze. This area was pretty much shut down for several days due to thick ice on the roads, loss of power and frozen water pipes, not just in houses but main water lines. I was told that the water company that supplies water to Rocky Point CG had …

I’m glad we stopped

October 28, 2018 / Rex / 0 Comments

Change of plans. Our original plan had been to stay a week near the diamond mine but there were no spots to be had. We ended up lucking into the only spot available for 2 nights, in the state park not the campground we wanted to stay at, for some reason all the campgrounds are …

October 26, 2018 / Rex / 0 Comments

10/24 & 25/2018 We spent a couple of days hunting the elusive diamond. Day one was shirt sleeves and in the dry, day 2 was cool after a light rain. Really, it rained just enough to make things muddy, and the mud here is sticky. Did mention it was cool. On day 2 we traipsed …
