Tuesday – Atoka, TN to Hot Springs, AR


When we left the state park in Tennessee, we headed west on I-40, and stopped at the Arkansas Welcome station at the Tennessee/Arkansas state line. We looked at the map, and decided that we would try to camp one night in the Ouachita State Park campground. We called and got a site…… the last one with hookups. It took about 4 hours to drive to Hot Springs, actually, 40 or so miles past Little Rock!!! We got to the park about 2:30PM, and got set up. Then we decided that it would be nice to grill some steaks, but we did not have any. We found a Wal-Mart about 12 miles away, so we went and bought some steaks. We also found some garlic Texas Toast and twice-baked potatoes in Wal-Mart’s freezer section and bought that too!

We drove around the park, and then made our meal. It was great!! Here are the pics:

We spent another very peaceful night. We had forgotten how quiet and dark in gets in a state park……… after spending nights at truck stops, rest areas, casinos, and Wal-Mart parking lots!!!!
