Spring Break 2024 vacation across Texas and Palo Duro Canyon.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park

Palo Duro Canyon is the 2nd largest canyon in the United States.

There is a rich Native American history in the canyon with a very sad ending.

Camping on the Arkansas River.

We went camping this weekend along the Arkansas River, just south of Clarksville, at Spadra Park, which once was home to a Native American village, and part of the Trail of Tears.

The view across the river is great, and there are many ducks, geese, and cranes.

We are going for an Autumn drive tomorrow through the Ozarks to hopefully see some beautiful fall colors.

Spring Break 2018 day 5:

We said goodbye to my father and drove to see where an ancient Indian civilization used to live about 3,000 years ago up to about 1,000 years ago. They built mounds of dirt to keep track of the Winter and Summer solstice, and of the Spring and Autumn equinox. Next, we drove to Murfreesboro, Arkansas, to spend the next four nights in a Tipi. After settling in, we built a campfire, and Destiny made some new friends. They all went out at night with flashlights on a ‘treasure hunt’ the campground owner arranged for them.
