Back to Siloam Springs

Bob and I stayed at Lake Eufalula State Park for another night after Bobby and Cathy left for Dallas. We enjoyed our site by the lake.

We also did a little geocaching while we were there. We had some travel bugs we needed to drop off so they could continue their journeys.

The next day we headed the rv north again toward Siloam Springs. On another trip we passed Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, so this time we decided to stop. This was a bakery at the fort. It is still used in cooler months.

 

Have I mentioned that this is the hottest weather we have experienced in years? Well, it reminds us of one our first trips in the Windsport when we stopped at Montgomery and Mobile, Alabama and it was miserable hot. When we got home, we had the windows tinted and awnings installed over each window!

The day we visited Fort Gibson the sky looked ominous and as we walked to the main fort, it began to rain. We waited out the rain in the fort.

From Fort Gibson we took the scenic route along the Illinois River back to Siloam. It continued to rain for most of the trip. I think it was only the second rainstorm during the month we have been on the road.

Once back to Siloam, Bob and his dad played golf. They also helped a friend with her sprinkler system. That turned out to be a major job.

Dot and I shopped and looked for clothes for our cruise in October.

Of  course, we visited the casino a few times while we were there.

Once we got back on the road, the next stop was Little Rock AFB. Bob found some caches near Camping World so after we did some shopping, we went caching. We found 53 along Route 70. When we got back to the rv we realized that there were over 150 caches along Route 70---we could've broken our one day record! But, alas, we had a flat tire on the CRV. The next day was spent at Sam's waiting for it to be repaired.

After spending an extra day at the base, it was time to move on to Corinth,Mississippi. Bob wanted to tour Shiloh Battlefield again and Corinth was a convenient stop.
