On Cloud Nine

We made it to Arkansas and it is beautiful. There are a ton of state parks and we plan on doing a lot of "outdoorsing" while we are here. We are staying in Hot Springs at an RV Resort called Cloud Nine, because of its views of the valley below. It is a great little RV park.

Yesterday, we decided to go hiking in Lake Catherine State Park. They have three trails. All are moderate level of experience needed, but they vary in length. You can only guess that Scott wanted to go on the longest one. Being that I am a trooper and am in such good shape (notice the touch of sarcasm here), I decided what the heck, lets do it. It was called the Dam Mountain Trail and damn was it long. It actually wasn't that long, but being that we went the wrong way and added a couple of extra miles on to it, it became a Dam long Mountain trail. One of the highlights of the trail is that it has a beautiful waterfall along the way. The only problem is that Arkansas hasn't had rain in probably three months so no rain equals no water equalling no waterfall. If we have ever told you the story of our trip to Aruba with the natural bridge, this was a similar experience. All kidding aside we had a blast and laughed the whole way down the trail. My favorite part was Scott leading the way with his spider stick. Who said chivalry is dead!

I am so happy for you! You seem to be enjoying the ride! I miss you but I am totally inspired by your courage in this journey-I can't believe you are driving that! Your hair looks fantastic (but you could pull off a mohawk). Hey I'm going to my goddaughter's Christening in 2 weeks, let me know if you'll be near Vegas!
