Nice thunderstorm last night. The Crater of Diamonds State Park is a 37 acre field where a massive volcano brought diamonds to the earth’s surface. This is the only diamond producing area in the world open to the public. Over 75,000 diamonds have been found at “The Crater”. Other gems can also be found. We got there around 10:30. (What was I thinking – it was already 89 degrees.) I did have my hat. A lot of walking – the field was muddy, but not like GA mud – like quick sand cement – I almost lost my shoe twice. (Water shoes that could be hosed off.) We “surface” hunted until about 1:00 – didn’t find anything but jasper but it was fun. We are coming back in cooler weather. After leaving the field and washing our feet/shoes, we headed to Murfreesboro, the largest “one horse town” in the area for a Sonic drink, then a long nap back at the camper. Staying two nights here. Don’t have to check out until 3:00, so I’m going to get a picture of Delight (without pulling 5th wheel) and we are going to Billstown, which is the actual little town where Glen is from, he just says Delight because Billstown is too small for the map – want to find the Campbell cemetary. It was on the documentary they did last year. Tomorrow, we’ll start north again – not sure if the very western edge of Arkansas or crosss over to Oklahoma. We will see.
