e beast running smoothly we need to keep the wheels turning. Left the house yesterday morning right at 8:00am and headed for North Little Rock, Arkansas. Arrived around 3:00pm at the Downtown Riverside RV Park. We'll be here all week attending a Monaco Wan-na-goes Rally. (We are members of three Monaco coach owners clubs. The other two are international clubs and have members throughout the U.S. and Canada. This club covers a seven state region including Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and New Mexico.) The rally officially kicks off this evening with a Happy Hour meet and greet party. This RV park is ope
rated by the City of North Little Rock and is right on the banks of the Arkansas River. One line of coaches is lined up with their front directly facing the river. We are on the second row back but are on the very end of the row so we have a good view. Directly beside us is the old traffice bridge connecting North Little Rock to Little Rock. Thi
s was a lift bridge but has now been closed to traffic with the approach ramps removed. (Yesterday afternoon the local fire department was here practicing removing injured persons from the bridge using block & tackle and a litter basket.) This old bridge has now been replaced by a moden, concrete bridge which is a part of Interstate 30. The buildings in the background behind the new bridge are in downtown Little Rock. So far we have seen a couple of tugs pushing barges up the river and in the evening there is a paddle wheel boat that takes people out on dinner cruises.

location gives me a new place to put out my newest addition to our RVing "stuff". At the last rally, up in Kansas, I purchased a solar power light/sign post. As soon as we got back to Oklahoma I did change out the flag that came with it for one of my own choosing. Now will need to figure out how to keep Buddy Joe from using it as his personal toilet when he has to go out in the middle of the night.

Well what happened to Day 1...and what about your good friends who are also co-rally masters of this rally?
Hi Rick ...
Carole and spent several days there during the spring a couple of years ago, and liked it and Little Rock a lot. The City is doing a lot with that RV park to attract visitors, and seem to want our business and us. There is much to do and to see there. We spent two nights in the Clinton Library parking lot and were interrupted by a drunk who wanted to use our bathroom at 3:00 AM ....The Library security folks had the police there in about 45 seconds.
The MonacoWannaGoes have intrigued me for some time ... Sound like a great group. Have fun!
We've been in Italy the past couple of weeks and so I'm behind on my reading! Sorry to see the metal bridge go, it's far more interesting to look at, but that's progress for you. Not sure yet what your new doo-hickey does, but I'm guessing it's not a doggie loo.
Shelly,
It's a light poll. It has a solar powered light at the top. I set it outside the door for a little light when we go out at night. In the daytime it gives me a place to display my support for my favorite school.
