On Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana in eastern Texas, we’re staying on Site A-5 in Clear Spring Campground. Mid-week, early November, there’s ample availability of campsites but since we were planning a rendezvous with Sharon and Mike, we called â€(877) 444-6777‬ to make a reservation. A representative at recreation.gov helped us chose our site then Michael called and reserved their site next to us. Our next challenge was finding the campground. It’s one of those places that GPS can’t seem to find. The route we traveled had us negotiating a very steep railroad crossing on Clear Springs Road. But finally, we’re here! We’re enjoying our adjacent roomy sites on the lake. We got a tour of their newly acquired, newly redecorated motor home, and shared a dinner, great conversation, a campfire, coyote calls, and brilliant stars for a wonderful evening.
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
