Bull Shoals White River State Park

We arrived at one of our favorite places near to home.. Bull Shoals White River State Park in Bull Shoals, Arkansas.. okay 6 hours away but close enough for us! When we arrived the trees and grass were still dead and dreary looking, but after a few weeks stay the trees were blooming and the birds were chirping! Keep following for more great photos of the wildlife! I have many more photos to share of my bird watching and about midway through our stay we moved to another camp site. The Bass Masters Elite tournament attendees were arriving so we lost our campsite to them. Here's where we started when we arrived on March 28th.

Overnight Camping at Lake Arcadia, Oklahoma

We are setting up camp at Lake Arcadia! We dont know if we are allowed to reserve the site we chose being its up front by the main road and may be only be for hosts of the campgrounds. But with our new RV we didn't want to take any chances with tree limbs or not fitting in any of the others sites in the campgrounds and being close to home we hoped for the best!

North Texas Heartland Spring Rally

We arrived at Coffee Creek RV Park in Santo, TX with a caravan of three 5th wheels from the Oklahoma Heartland Chapter. Heartland the manufacturer of our recreational vehicles. It was quite a good size group for the North Texas Chapter. I was impressed. We had some feedback on local restaurants and sights since a few had been there a few days longer. The Shed in Weathorford, TX was awesome! I had a soup and sandwich and still wish I would have skipped the sandwich and had a large soup. The soup, breads, and pies are all homemade. The soup was amazing, I have not stopped thinking about it! I know where to have lunch if ever in the area again. We also ate as a group for dinner at a near by river cafe and had their catfish dinner. I have no complaints there either. I am beginning to think the folks around here sure know how to cook! We made some wonderful new friends and rekindled with some old friends at the rally, lots of great conversation and delicious pot luck meals! I didn't play any games this time around, we were all more into getting to know one another than games. Our last dinner together was in Mineral Wells, TX. What a neat town with some history and gorgeous historical buildings to see! We ate at an Italian restaurant and it was another hit! Delicious! One of the best we have had!

Mineral Wells, Texas

We enjoyed homemade breads, soups, sandwiches and pies for lunch at a place called THE SHED. I highly reccomend eating here if you are ever in that area.
