Last Stop in Louisiana

On Tuesday we came further north to Lake Claiborne State Park just north of I-20. From here we go back to western Arkansas and then back to the Hot Springs area for a prolonged stay while Bud has knee replacement surgery. This is a bit earlier than I would have liked but his pre-operation visit is scheduled for March 20, almost a month before the surgery.

We’re holding onto spring here with the dogwoods and azaleas in full bloom.

I was excited to see wisteria blooming in the trees, but then I looked it up and found that this is Chinese wisteria and it is an invasive and becoming a problem.

We have a pretty nice site here. It’s nice staying in parks through the week in the off season because there are so few other campers.

I sit out with Matey in the afternoons and this is the view we have.

All this lovely shade was nice when it was 78 degrees out, but today it’s only 60.

This park also has two disc golf courses.

We’ve played them both.

We prefer the longer one as it has a bit more room to throw on the fairways. You walk about three miles to play, but that’s fine with Matey and me.

This has been a nice stop and a good farewell to Louisiana.

    It’s nice to see the flowers – even the invasive wisteria! My Pink Dawn Viburnum has blossoms on it, but today they are covered with wet snow!

    Hi Jill. That really is a pretty place. I was wondering-so you book camping places depending on whether or not there is disc golf nearby? Love you.

      No, that’s just a bonus. There’s enough disc golf courses around that we can usually get to one. If they have disc golf and full hook ups I might make the stay longer. But I usually just find public parks along our route that are a reasonable driving distance and at least have electrical hook ups.
