We ate at "THE FISH BOAT"

I reached into the archives for some pictures........ (nothing to do with Arkansas)

WE stopped by the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South DAkota.

Driving this valley is curvey, but beautiful. This is from our 2004 trip through, headed for the BAdlands.

Going back to I40 out of Asheville, NC headed West. A set of tunnels.

Arkansas is an agricultural state. They produce 40% of the USA’s rice. Until this trip I don’t think I had paid enough attention as I passed fields. Maybe I thought it was wheat or some other grain. But the fields I am seeing here are Cotton, soy bean and RICE. Also there are many very small towns scattered throughout this area of the state.

When we first started planning this trip I looked on the internet and in all our reference manuals for RV parks, none were near. I (the know it all) remarked to Sherry there is always a trailer park we could stay in. Well to be honest there is a trailer park in downtown Lepanto. We drove through it in the rain, the mud just doesn’t make for a pretty site. There was an empty spot, but it had no electric meter, and we are not going to be around long enough to have a meter set.

Also we would have had to clean the lot. So what I am saying is we just could not find a spot to park the RV close by. That is something I have never liked, commuting to work, I like to be there or near.

We set the new bathtub today and hung the dry wall around it. I am beat again. I like that, being tired. Oh, and the pastor Chris mentioned that his dad & mom have a restaurant ‘The Fish Boat’ here in Jonesboro. We went there for supper today, the food was delicious. I had hoped to go in and eat without them knowing we were coming. We could pay the bill then let them know who recommended the place. But the pastor had called ahead saying we may drop in. I guess they know their customers and we were new. So His mother came over and introduced herself, Kathy. Don, his dad came out of the kitchen for a chat. They would not let us pay for our meal. That was nice, but sometimes I think folks might think you do that to get a free meal. Anyway the food was great. They are very nice folk.
I am closing, thanks for coming by the log.
