Tomorrow I will start wandering through the quilt show – I look forward to seeing all the quilts and all the goodies from the vendors . We arrived in the area late afternoon so we are saving it for tomorrow. Tuesday and Wednesday we toured though some areas that were within 50 miles of the campsite at Village Creek State Park in Arkansas. Most of the time when we go to a park to camp it is with the intention of walking some trails and seeing things at the park. Well – it didn’t work out at this park. The bugs were everywhere! Little flying type of gnats that we were told were in the process of hatching!! When outside they would swarm around you – up your nose, in the mouth and ears!! Well maybe not swarm – that might be an exaggeration – but enough so that it was not comfortable to be out much. So instead of walking in the woods being bothered by the bugs one day we drove over to Parkin State Park which is an archeological park. The visitor center was really nice and had such a fine sampling of pottery that had been found at the site in the mounds that are in the park. Here are photos from the park.
The sign at the entrance to the park
One of the old mounds at the park. There is a 3/4 mile trail around the park showing some of the historical sites - well it was a fast walk - the bugs were at this park too!!
Some of the pottery that was dug up at the park under the mounds.
More pots!! love these old things, they are so neat looking. At least inside there were no bugs!
Next will be photos from Jacksonport State Park that I took Tuesday afternoon – an enjoyable day and we saw so much (and no bugs!!).
