Into Arkansas

After 2 days driving we left Texas and got into Arkansas.  Nice place, but I seem to say that a lot.  Alternating flat land and sometimes steep rolling hills, i.e. not too high.  Lake Catherine State Park is on an impoundment of Ouachita River.  We thought it would be a dark sky place like the last few nights because it was a long narrow dead end road coming in.  But there is a lot of light across the pond.  Entergy Arkansas.  And street lights in the campground.  Good grief.  We are still west of the Miss. but it has an eastern feel to it.

Crossing the Red River in AR.  Note the separate bridge for the gas line.
