cross the mighty mississip...
this morning took us across the mississippi river at memphis, tn and then we were in arkansas. a not-so-long day today; only 8 hours, but that included two stops for gas and two rest stops along the way to rest our tired buttocks. arkansas has a lot of farmland, but the ozark mountains are pretty this time of year. as the photos of today's jaunt will prove. no quilt shops on our journey today, but there are four more days until we reach the pacific, so who can say? i saw another camping world today, but we didn't stop. the two rest stops we saw today are beautifully landscaped and very park-like. i guess that makes up for the heat, ha, ha, ha. tomorrow we are headed for oklahoma city, ok to visit the national cowboy hall of fame and western heritage center, then it is on to elk city, ok and our next koa (kampground of america). well, enjoy this jaunt as we head out west in our newfangled prairie schooner. sleep tight, y'all...
