Our New Home Base

We arrived in Livingston Texas and have moved our domicile here. We have registered our truck and trailer as well as getting Texas driver’s licenses and registered to vote. We are now residents of Texas. With no state income tax, we will even save a few tax dollars with my final paychecks from Syntegon :)!

Now we just need to get Cowboy Boots and Hats to make it official!

Our home base is with the Escapees RV Club, which has mail forwarding service. They collect and scan all of our mail. We can then review each piece of mail, and decide to shred, scan or forward the mail to wherever we are at the time. They also help you with setting up your domicile.

We are staying a week at their campsite in Livingston – Rainbow’s End right at the headquarters in site 117.

Our New Address:

232 Rainbow Drive #13218
Livingston, TX 77399-2032

White “Tale” Ranch

Another nice Harvest Host in Dekalb Texas. White Tale Ranch has been in the same family since 1913. Family and friends have enjoyed many years of hunting and fishing on the property. Today, the ranch servers as a homestead to four generations of the White family.

We stayed one night, and enjoyed the farm animals and quiet setting. They sell a variety of items at their store. We bought eggs and jellies. Both were great.

Hot Springs Arkansas

On our journey south, we stopped for a few days in Hot Springs. We originally wanted to stay at the Hot Springs National Park in the Gulpha Gorge Campground, but it is first come first served, and was full. We quickly found a new place to stay: Leisure Landing RV Park. A nice smaller campground that is setup great right on Lake Hamilton. Full hookup site with laundry facilities is only $32/day.

On Friday, we started the day by soaking in the hot spring pools at Quapaw Bathhouse. They have 4 pools at at different temperatures (95, 98, 102 and 105 degrees). We spent a little over an hour in the pools and then had lunch at the café. Very nice. the next time we come to Hot Springs, we want to try a more traditional bathhouse experience at Buckstaff Bathhouse; they have individual tubs vs pools.

After the bathhouse, we hiked the Peak Trail which leads to the Hot Springs Mountain Tower.

We finished our day having dinner at Superior Bathhouse Brewery. We each sampled a flight of 4 beers and enjoyed the food. Great menu of food and beer. Highly recommended to here if you are in town.

Lake Charles, AK

Well, this is sounding like a broken record but Wow. Another great campground: Lake Charles State Park in Arkansas. This reminds us of Tugaloo in Georgia. We are in site #53 which is backed up to the lake. We are once again the only campers in our loop. Concreate pad, fire pit, grill, water and electricity. We also get to add yet another state in the course of a few days.

Bold Spoon Creamery

We added another new state – Missouri by staying at the Bold Spoon Creamery in Park Hills, MO.

Another great Harvest Host location. Cory and Rachel have a great business in a fantastic location. We strongly recommend stopping by. Oh, and you need to meet Flash!

Make sure you have lots of room in your freezer, so you and get every flavor. We only had room for 4 in our tiny freezer, but what a treat!
