Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas

We drive a few hours to Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. Jere says it's supposed to be a nice park with nice scenery. It was Arkansas' first state park. We set up camp in our assigned space and take a long, long time to get into it. I'm not sure why they assigned us this space; there are lots of other empty spaces. After about 20 minutes of maneuvering, we finally get into the space. I feel bad for the tenters across the street--I'm sure they did not appreciate listening to our diesel truck noise, but we did provide entertainment to them (and they are probably glad that they are have to deal with setting up a small tent, vs maneuvering a 35 ft condo on wheels).

We eat and take off to explore the park. We look at their large waterfall and take the trail to a large cave where there are pictographs on the wall. It's a nice park, but not sure if it is worth driving out of the way for.
