The RV park in Cotter is located on the White River… Lots of fishing going on, as well as some kayaking…
There is nothing else in Cotter, so this was a short, but relaxing stop…
A food truck, whose menu consisted of different hamburgers, came at dinner time and served us a very pleasant fried catfish dinner…
And an enjoyable time was had by all…
Another travel day. First breakfast, Drivers meeting, and the last GAM. It’s 45 degrees outside. Not a fun situation for outdoor breakfast and meetings…
But the drive was lovely… We crossed the White River many times…
Slight change in topography along the way. Less forest, more farming…
We arrived at the campground in Eureka Springs, set up the Villa, and added DEF to the truck.
Later, we dressed warmly to head out to see The Great Passion Play…
The outdoor amphitheater seats about 5,000 people, and the stage set is HUGE!
The play was well presented, although the few times a southern accent slipped through it was a bit of a jolt…!
We returned to the Villa. An enjoyable time was had by all…
Travel Day today. This caravan is different from our previous caravans. We began the day with breakfast together, then we held our traditional Drivers Meeting, where the route was discussed, then we had another GAM. The reason we have so much time before we leave is that all our drives are short. Only 57 miles today.
When we travel like this between campgrounds we have to leave by a certain time, but we can not arrive at the new campground until after a certain time. This leaves us time to stop along the way and kill an hour or two…
We crossed the White River, then stopped in the town of Calico Rock…
This being Sunday, everything was closed… The White River is famous for trout fishing, so there are several fishing concessions on the river…
This appears to be the Calico Rock…
To quote a song from the musical “Oklahoma”, on the occasion of one of the cowboys going to the big city, “And then I put my ear to a Bell telephone, and a strange women started in to talk…”
There is a nice park in the center of town with a picnic area…
We enjoyed a little lunch before we moved on…
We stopped once more, just to stretch our legs…
We arrived at the Denton Ferry RV park in Cotter, AR, population 886. There is literally nothing in this town. Its main attraction appears to be access to the White River and its trout fishing…
The campground is directly along the river…
Tonight’s dinner is at Colton’s, a chain steak house in nearby Mountain Home, AR. It is had to miss…
We had a nice banquet room to ourselves… Steaks, chops, chicken, ribs, and Salmon were on the menu… Service was a little slow (which is to be expected). It was nice to not eat deep fried Southern food…
We returned to the Villa. An enjoyable time was had by all…
