Thursday morning dawned bright and cool as we drove to Walmart to pick up the RV and head for points south (and hopefully, warmer climes!)
Not looking good! And certainly not what you want to see on the side of the road when you're planning on sleeping in your RV!!!
But before hitting those comfy temperatures, we had a couple of hockey games to take in.
First stop, the twin cities and the Minnesota Wild. Opponents for this game were the Calgary Flames. While the home team was successful, neither team played particularly well.
Next stop Chicago, IL and a visit to the United Center, home of the Stanley Cup champions. Again, Canadian opponents; this time in the form of the Edmonton Oilers. However, on this day the hockey gods were not so kind to the home team as Edmonton won 2-1.
Before heading to the stadium for the game, we took a quick tour of the windy city's downtown, including a trip to the top of the Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower.
Jim was brave enough to step out on the clear glass and take a photo looking straight down.
While I was real brave and took the picture from the ground looking up! (LOL)
But enough of the cold weather. It was time to head further south. Destination -Texarkana, Arkansas. And why Texarkana some have asked? Well, it's the home of one of the Ocean Canyon Properties (OCP) RV parks that we can camp at for free. And double bonus, as members of OCP we get to golf at the park's golf course for free!
With that being said, we have spent the last two weeks on the links. (Note, picture was taken on 19 Nov)
We are certainly enjoying the people side of membership camping.
Made some new friends from Frisco, Texas.
And got the opportunity to reconnect with friends from Tupelo, MS whom we met on last year's trip.
Tomorrow morning it's time to head out again. This time we're goin' into "Cajun Country" and Abita Springs RV Resort. Wonder what deals I'll find on Black Friday!!! Until next time......
