Pleasant daytime temperatures here in Arkansas, and cooling each evening—a refreshing change from late spring in the Rio Grande Valley of TX where we live! It’s consistently in the 90’s by day-70’s at night down there already.
Today, we left Hot Springs, bound for parts north. Our day’s trek took us past rice fields e. of Little Rock, AR, many having the funny little cone-shaped crawfish (“mud bug”) traps placed in even rows throughout. A happy second source of income for the rice farmers! These are also commonly seen in Louisiana and east TX.
The countryside is SO green, with thick woodlands and wind-rows. So refreshing!
After a fuel stop in West Memphis, AR, we continued on to spend the night in a Sam’s Club parking lot in Jackson, TN. (Wow, are we grateful for our new blinds, particularly the night shades—complete blackout so no parking lot lights! Yay!!) The WalMart next door directs RVers to the Sam’s Club lot since Sam’s closes for the night. The WalMart here remains busy at all hours.
We’ve driven 1,130 miles since leaving home. I think I’ll note our mileage in each post just for fun. Somebody out there might be interested!
