Arkansas

   The first day of 2007 found us driving across Interstate 40 into Arkansas. We drove off the interstate and found a wonderful place to call home. DeGray Lake State Park! We had planned a one night stop on our way to Texas. The place was so beautiful, we settled in on a site beside a lake, surrounded by birds and wildlife.

We walked the trails and saw lots of birds and many, many ducks.

We took day trips to Diamond Crater State Park and Hot Springs. Diamond Crater Park is where you can dig for diamonds and if you get lucky enough to find one, you get to keep it. It was a drizzly and very muddy day, so we opted to just watch.

   

After four days, we  tore ourselves away from our site at the side of a lake and headed toward Texas.
