MAR 13-23 Sad news...we're on our way back home We left Hot Springs National Park reluctantly as it was such a nice stop.  Our next adventure was to Desoto just outside of Dallas where we stayed at a  Harvest Host (HH) .  HH are businesses that allow you to camp at their site.  They are usually Wineries, Breweries, Distilleries, Museums, Farms or some other attraction and camping is free.  While there is usually no services; some offer, electric or water.  Stops are usually just overnight and campers are encouraged to patronize the business.  It’s always nice, though not necessary to support them by purchasing some of their product.

Jerry spent most of today installing a back-up camera and a WiFi booster antennae/router on the trailer that we bought back in November.  Both seem to be successfully working.  The camera should help for backing up but also seeing what's going on behind us when towing. Antennae and camera at rear of trailer WiFi Booster Antennae The WiFi booster antennae is held on with a big suction cup and comes down when on the road.   Misty does not seem impressed.  This is her screen shot. LOL Friday we hopped on a tour and saw a fair bit of the city.  Our tour guide was not overly informative but we did visit the Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium.  It was originally a place of worship - the  Union Gospel Tabernacle was built in 1892  by  Thomas  Ryman  (1843–1904), a  Nashville  businessman who owned several saloons and a fleet of riverboats . The story goes that he was converted...
