4th Stop - West Memphis, Arkansas


We had a very short drive today from Memphis, Tennessee to West Memphis, Arkansas.  We were going to do one night at the Tom Sawyer RV Park on the Mississippi River but once we pulled into the site and saw the view and felt the nice breeze we decided to do a second night.  We have a front row seat to the barge traffic on the Mississippi and it's really nice...we would definitely recommend this park to any RVers passing through the area. 
Pictured on the right is a snake that Molly "found" right next to the picnic table where we were sitting at dusk talking to another couple.  Mandy passed right over it while Molly was in attack mode (Mandy had no clue that it was there).  The owner and one of the workers of the campground came down and the worker ended up killing it with a hoe since it was curled up and hard to see if it was poisonous or non-.  The owner returned and said they had looked at it closely and it turned out to be a banded watersnake (very similar to a water moccasin).  It added a little excitement to the end of the evening.
