Ivy's Cove RV Retreat - Russellville, Arkansas

September 17 

We had a shorter drive today and for the most part it was gloomy, but dry with quite a few intermittent sprinkles with hard bursts of rain. 
It was a beautiful drive. Arkansas is quite scenic. We passed over lots of bridges over huge rivers and then came to the Boston Mountain Range (part of the Ozarks) which were beautiful rolling mountains and valleys. Sadly, since I was driving the car I didn’t get any photos. As we left Missouri and entered Arkansas, I waved at the border sign. Greg however had his cell phone ready and got a great shot of it and of some of the rocky areas we drove though in Missouri.

It’s another fairly small park with maybe 3 rows for short term RVs and a back area for the longer term people.

I have a pinched ulnar nerve in my neck that is killing me. Not used to driving, I think.

Not sure where we are headed tomorrow. Lots of great areas to explore.....


From an Arkansas State website:
"The Ozarks, also referred to as the Ozark Mountains and Ozark Plateau, is a physiographic region in the U.S. states of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri, extending from Interstate 40 in Arkansas to the suburbs of St. Louis. A portion of the Ozarks extends into northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas.

There are two mountain ranges within the Ozarks: the Boston Mountains of Arkansas and the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. Buffalo Lookout, the highest point in the Ozarks, is located in the Boston Mountains. Geologically, the area is a broad dome with the exposed core in the St. Francois Mountains. The Ozarks cover nearly 47,000 square miles, making it the most extensive highland region between the Appalachians and Rockies. Together with the Ouachita Mountains, the area is known as the U.S. Interior Highlands.
