Day 50-July 20, 2015-Holiday Island
Not as hot today, only 94. Always a nice breeze.
Did some chores in the morning-vacuum, clean the kitchen and bathroom. Then read most of the morning. Watched people leave the campground. There are 31 sites, 5 RVs are left here and the people just come on the week-ends and then there’s us. We’re the only ones here today. Kind of nice.
After lunch we drove over to the Holiday Island municipal office to find out exactly where our lot is. It’s #15 Wild Turkey Dr., just where we thought it was. People in the office are very nice, one doesn’t live too far from our lot. We drove around the development a bit, couldn’t believe how they built some of the houses on steep cliffs. They have a great view out the back and some have beautiful patios and decks that look out over the mountains. There’s a local strip mall with a small grocery store, hardware store, glorified dollar store with a pharmacy, laundromat, etc., etc., etc. Did some stocking up on food, then came back to the RV to put it away. We had thought about going to a ball game in Springdale tonight but when we thought about the hour plus drive home in the dark over the mountain we decided to pass. Then we thought about going into Eureka Springs again but it was getting late. So we decided to read some more, have a relaxing dinner and a nice fire. But the fire will have to wait, we had a downpour with lots of wind, thunder and lightning. After that passed it was very quiet here with just us and the cicadas.
