  I believe that's the bridge Dubs.  The curve is on the Kentucky side.
  I'm not sure if I should start a new topic when I have another question, but feel free to tell me if I make a forum faux pas.  It won't hurt my feelings.
  So here's the next question:  How far from away have you looked for a motor home?  I think the farther I went, the more confident I would have to be that the deal was going down.  I realize this is a personal matter, but I'm curious about what you all have done.
  I'm enjoying your topics on this forum, thanks for the education!  Hope I can help out sometime...

This should be a new topic. I think you will get a lot of answers.

Returning to the subject of State Park Campgrounds, Jeff and I are presently in the Balmorhea State Park campground in Toyahvale, TX.  This is just off Rt 10 west of Ft. Stockton.  It is small, but has pull-thrus that easily accommodate our 40' U320 & toad.  Not much to do here, but the scenery is fine and the BIG excitement is the huge pool!  Fed by a natural spring that sends out several million gallons per hour, it is actually about 70 degrees!  Clear as a bell and with lots of little fishes and big fishes to see while you are swimming.  Totally unexpected!  Cleverly, we have fins and snorkel gear (also totally unexpected, as we are almost never that well prepared) and spent a few hours yesterday paddling around.  I am thinking it may be another "Fountain of Youth"!!  Check it out if you are traveling by.

Carol & Jeff,  You need to go a little further west to Fort Davis and up to the McDonald Observatory in the Davis mountains.  There is something going on there this Saturday the 9th.  Check it out worth the trip

I figure the reason Ark has expanded so many of the state parks is to capitalize on more tourism. I suppose camping is the biggest family hobby down here. Seems like everybody goes and most have rigs.

Kent,

We sure had a great time that month we spent in Fort Stockton.

Yup...the last AR state park I visited was Devils Den south of Fayetteville, and it had nice large sites with 50 amp full hook-ups.
