July 13 - July 19, 2015
We spent a week at Crater of Diamonds State Park outside of Mufreesboro, Arkansas. Our site was very nice (no 9) on a corner.
We went to the diamond fields three days. You can purchase a ticket after 6:00 pm, go into the fields until they close at 8:00 pm. The ticket is good for all day the next day. We went to the fields one day after 6:00 and another two days. We didn't find any diamonds but it was a neat experience.
The little town of Mufreesboro has a few cute shops. We enjoyed looking around and especially enjoyed ice cream from an old fashioned soda shop.
On Monday, July 20, we headed down Hwy 82 across North Texas.
I have some long time friends in North Texas from when my dad pastored in Electra.
It was nice to make contact with two couples from Saint Jo, Calvin and Beverly Durham and Charles and Janis Reed. Thank you Calvin and Beverly for your hospitality and letting us hook up our camper for the night.
It was really nice to see long time friends. Thanks Calvin, Beverly, Charles and Janis for a lovely evening.
I had forgotten the nice rolling hills of that part of Texas.
What fun!! Your diamond search reminds me of when we went searching for sapphires. Would love to do that again!! So glad all is going well!!
