This is our fourth day at the Rocky Point Campground at Wright Patman Lake near Texarkana, Texas. The cold front is finally subsiding and the temperature reached the high 60’s under a partially cloudy sky.

All of the campgrounds are located within a typical southern pine forest setting overlooking the lake
