Where are we today ?
Last night was so warm in Trinity Texas at 9pm, it was 87f, we actually had to turn on our airconditioner to be comfortable! This morning still nice and warm 67f outside at 4 am lovin' it!!
So up and ready to go, (almost), coffees , computing, walkabouts and just putter about, getting ready to hit the road. 8:15am hooked up and pulling out Johnnie, (new friends that made us supper last night) came out to wish us well and packed us some nice snacks for on the road today. Such a wonderful lady, we do hope to meet up again, either here or on down the road.

| 250 miles today |
Now we are "On the road again" with Willie Nelson singing along with us.Taking the back roads towards Texarkana. Such a wonderful peaceful trip. Small towns and villages along the way.Two lane roads, but what amazes me is the speed limits here. Two lane highways and 70 mph (112 kph). Now we don't drive that fast but you can!

Here we are coming into Texarkana,, around the city and up to Ashdown Arkansas, a small town about 5,000 population, right up our alley.

| Our destination today |
Arrived here about 2 pm and saw our friends, Rob and Pat heading out to the store.

| Thats ROB |
Got ourselves checked in, and set up, but so cold here compared to where we were. Instead of 80 f more like 45 f. Oh well we can rough it gotta get ready for the cooler weather back home, Beside its a membership park so free camping for us, no overnight fees, we like that, with full hookups!

| cold and rainy |
Our friends are parked right across from us, those two trailers.
Now all set up and another neighbor stopped by to chat, he too is from southern Ontario as well. But got cool and drizzly so we all headed inside. Then Rob stopped by and had the 6 of us over for "Happy hour". Catch up and chat for a bit until time for us to head home and make supper. Took a picture of the ladies but they were all blurry. Maybe somebody had too much wine, ya think?? Not me, don't drink much wine.

That's it for another fun day. Too cold and rainy for our Weber, but had couple chicken breasts thawed out so I just whipped up some chicken fried rice,veggies, onions mushrooms and stuff. So tasty and hit the spot!

Soo much cooler here and only 250 miles north of where we were. But it will get colder before it gets warmer. Bonus, we met up with some friends to hang out with for a few days too!
Anywho, thanks for stopping in and enjoying our day of travel with us.
Check out the map below to see where we have been this winter

Not a bad sounding travel day, Once again nice to meet up with old friends. One thing about RV'ing almost anywhere can be just like your neighborhood knowing people. Looking forward to the day we can meet up. Glad that you had a fun happy hour sounded great. Liked your dinner too. Til tomorrow
ReplyDeleteIt was fun, some day we will meet up.
DeleteSay, could you crank up the thermostat when you get to Ontario. We want it warm when we get there in a few weeks...........:))
ReplyDeleteAl we will do our best for you.
DeleteJust don't go too far north too soon. There's still colder weather there and even snow!
ReplyDeleteWe are watching the weather carefully, cold enough here.
DeleteI know you will miss the warmer weather, but way glad to have friends to visit with...it's hard to think that those few miles can make such a difference in the temp.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice drive today....enjoy Sunday!
Brr, missing the warm weather already! You have a great day too.
DeleteToo cold for the Weber??? BRRRRRRR
ReplyDeleteYeah, cold, windy and rain not much fun cooking outside.
DeleteWeather is playing crazy up here. Thunderclaps and winds over 40mph from 10 am.
ReplyDeleteYou stay warm!
We just gonna sit here for a bit and relax, wait for warmer weather.
DeleteDrive safe.
Safe trip home and please bring some of that warmer weather with you, Ontario is still in a deep freeze! Your dinners always make me so hungry and it is only morning! Will you park your coach when you are back to Ontario or will you still travel around? I enjoy following along on your adventures.
ReplyDeleteWe move around Southern Ontario mostly, a few membership parks, friends, relatives, and a few different places as well, etc...
DeleteOh please don't talk to much about colder weather. He just left Houston and starting our slow travels to Ohio. I love this weather I the South.
ReplyDeleteReally don't like the colder either, we were so enjoying the warm southern weather. But gotta do what we gotta do.
DeleteThree degrees in our Lovely Ouray this morning... Not time to go home yet! What a winter, it just won't let go.
ReplyDeleteBox Canyon Mark
Hope it lets go soon!
DeleteBrrr....maybe we'll stay down here in the desert a bit longer!
ReplyDeleteRick I think so, don't rush home yet.
DeleteIs there no way you can stay south for an extra 2 weeks?
ReplyDeleteWe have to be home by April 10th and don't like rush only 16 days to go 1,200 miles.
DeleteMaybe next year you can sked in more free time just in case re weather problems. You haven't been away the 7 months have you???
DeleteWe can legally only be in the USA for 182 days (6 months) per calendar year. We can leave Ontario for 7 months but only 6 months in the USA. If we stay here longer we have to leave later in the fall nd on't wanna do that.
