Good News!

Yesterday, Roger went to the orthopedic clinic. After taking more x-rays, the doctor determined that the line that appeared on one x-ray view was not a fracture. He said that the impact from the fall caused the tendon to try to pull away from the bone. The tendon was stretched and caused tendonitis. The line that appeared was the foot trying to heal the tendon. That was good news!

The Lord willing, we will leave Thursday morning to meet our Good Sam chapter at a nearby Corps of Engineers park for Independance Day. It is Red River RV Park which is just a little over an hour away on the Red River in Colfax, just north of Alexandria, LA. It is a very nice park with fullhookups. It is not listed in some older lists of RV parks because it is only a few years old. Although our club camps there several time a year, this will be our first time to stay there half price with our new Senior Pass for National Parks. Barb will have to do the driving this time since I am still recovering. She often helps me drive on trips.The park is next to one of the locks and dams on the river. Tug boats pushing strings of barges can often be seen nogotiating the locks. You can often arrange a tour of the lock and dam which is very interesting. I will try to post some pictures from a previous tour. There is a boat launch and a dock with places to dock your bass or leasure boat temporarily. This trip won't be like our planned trip to the Rocky Mountains but it will be good to go camping with friends.
