Maine to Texas - Arkansas and Texas - We're Home

We drove from Crossville, Tennessee to Forest City, Arkansas.  We very seldom drive this long in one day.


It was a very long day but we were ready to get into Texas so we only spent one night in Arkansas.

Travel Day: Crossville, TN to Forest City, AR - 374 miles

The next day we drove from Forest City, AR to Mt. Pleasant, TX.


We can’t seem to get out of road construction.


We stayed in Mt. Pleasant for a couple of days.   Mark played a couple of disc golf courses and we had some severe weather. 

Travel Day: Forest City, AR to Mt. Pleasant, TX - 290 miles

We had to time our arrival at Inks Lake in Burnet, Texas because it’s impossible to get a reservation during the weekend.  We had a couple of short drive days.

Travel Day:  Mt. Pleasant, TX to Glen Rose, TX - 190 miles.  The site was level, we didn't even un-hook.

Travel Day: Glen Rose, TX to Burnet, TX - 127 miles. 

We stayed at Inks Lake SP in Burnet for a few days.  We like this area.  There are several disc golf courses for Mark to pay and a lot of restaurants that we like.  We've stayed at this park many times and have volunteered here two winters.  Unfortunately, we didn't have the best weather and Mark was only able to play 9 holes of disc golf.

Travel Day: Inks Lake State Park to Medina, TX - 115 miles

We’re home.

Maine to Texas: Miles traveled - 2,630

Our next volunteer assignment is starting very soon - stay tuned.

    1. The big surprise is that the local electric cooperative is installed fiber optic internet in our "resort". Things are a little torn up but what a surprise to get gigabit internet into this tiny little rural area!

  3. Wow! Didn't realize BEC was that close to us with the fiber optic! We are about 4 miles or less from ya'll..up Mesa Verde Rd. I just got a new modem from HCTC with the blazing download speed of 3Mpbs..hopefully I can take it back one of these days and tell them adios!

    1. I think that we got lucky in that they could do dozens of installations with relatively little fiber.
