First day out on our April venture toward the Texas gulf. Our GWF is still with us except that she forgot to warm up the morning and it was a bit chilly out when we left. It didn't get as cold as forecast and only down to upper30s instead of the upper 20s that had been predicted. It did start out with clear skies and full sunshine but the further along we got the clouds began to gather. From Joplin down it became mostly cloudy that kept the afternoon temperatures in the mid 60s.
We had a big laugh in Pineville, MO when we pulled off to a "Welcome Center" for a lunch break. The signs kept pointing us toward the center of town and then all of a sudden there were no more signs and we were on a county road heading out of town with no place to turn around. I finally came to a crossroad that was wide enough for a back-up turn around and we headed back the way we came. As we passed back through the center of town we saw the Welcome Center sign on city hall but there weren't any places to park our rig. Heading back out toward Rte. 71 we found a nearly empty strip mall parking lot where we enjoyed our lunch and then it was back on track for Alma, AR. Alma is just a few miles East and North of Fort Smith and we had used this campground a couple of other times and it works well for us.
