showmetravelers: 4--8-2013 Catch-Up Time, Or What We Have Been Doing! (Coachlight RV Park, Carthage, MO)

When I last left you we had arrived in Greenwood, Arkansas, home to Trisha, our daughter, husband Jeff, and children.

We had been invited to join Trisha and Jeff on a trip Friday to north of Ozark, Arkansas. Byrd's Adventure Center is located on the Mulberry River, and is home to a RV park, canoeing, kayaking, 4x4 adventures.

Ozark, Arkansas is in the northwest corner of Arkansas, a most beautiful part of Arkansas. The red bud and service berry trees were in bloom, but not the dogwood. The Mulberry River is very scenic; there was lots of canoeing and kayaking going on.

We left our truck in Trisha's driveway, and pulled a trailer loaded with three four-wheelers. You may be asking what is Trisha thinking, remembering she was injured the last time she was on a four-wheeler.

She has no fear of being on a four-wheeler. In fact it was easier for her to get on the four-wheeler and ride from place to place rather than use the crutches to hobble. Her new nickname is "Chester".

Her left leg doesn't want to bend, since the knee cap is dislocated.

We rode on established, flat trails to where 4x4 rock climbing events were taking place.

It was a beautiful week end to be out of doors. The children were all with their other parent.

We returned to Greenwood yesterday afternoon and enjoyed a dinner meal with the boys. Landon is still not feeling well due to mono.

This morning we traveled to Carthage, Mo, to Coachlight RV Park. The RV park is adjacent to Coachlight RV Sales and Service. There is an 8 a.m. appointment Tuesday for some issues (minor) on the mh. One of the biggies was the ice maker had not worked most of the winter. Guess what? today it made ice! Isn't that maddening.

Just a head's up. We will be traveling Tuesday afternoon to my mother's home......location of no cell service or internet. Try texting, that sometimes goes through. We will be there about a week. Service will be available when we get to the Cape Girardeau, MO area, our next stop.
