The Last Legs of our Trip

So we left Oklahoma and arrived in Arkansas and spent the night in North Little Rock. We had been here last year on the way south.

We decided to go for dinner in Little Rock. It was Saturday night of the Easter weekend. We found a brew pub called the Lost Forty Brewing Company. Neat place. Not too many choices for dinner, but it was fine. We did a beer flight each to check out the different types.

Thought the sign into the washroom was really neat...unique.

This is the spot - in an industrial area, but very close to the Clinton Museum and Park.

So we left Arkansas and entered Tennessee at Memphis...the Mississippi River divides them. We’re going over the bridge here.

We spent the night in Dickson, Tennessee, about 25 miles or so from Nashville. So today we finished off Tennessee and also Kentucky.

We crossed the Ohio River - this is the old bridge and new bridge, I guess. Our GPS didn’t know where we were...so must be pretty new.

And we’re now near Scottsburg, Indiana.

At this dorky little RV place...yabadabadoo!!!!!!

We plan on staying in a hotel tomorrow night near Toledo, Ohio, as it’s supposed to be cool, raining, and windy. Not too nice to be out. And then home on Wednesday! Yippeee!!!

Getting Started

Thought I would create another blog. It really does help me keep track of stuff for photos later. And some people do want to read it. That’s good, I guess. I’m glad. I won’t publish every day, but after I’ve got some stuff to talk about. _______________ Sorry...I don’t know what’s going on with the first line. I’ll have to see if I can fix it. We had a leisurely morning, this morning, packing up the rest of the stuff to take along with us, and we were off! Well, after we turned around at Bridgeport Rd to go back and get my sunglasses 😕😎 Now we’re off...about 10:45 am. Made it to the Ambassador Bridge border crossing around 2 pm. Nicest border guard going into the U.S. in a long time. He actually smiled, sort of. Interstate 75 southbound is closed for about 8 miles. As we recalled, it was closed last year too. It’s a 2-year project, replacing bridges, etc. Anyway, it wasn’t too far out of the way to tak...

Riding on the City of New Orleans

So, I’ve had some adventures with Blogger over the last couple of days, but I think it’s all straightened out now. A new app, and there just happened to be a glitch with uploading that day. Wouldn’t you know it. Anyway, we’re not Riding on the City of New Orleans, but we’re Residing in the City of New Orleans, for about a day and a half. Here we are on Wednesday, just heading in — across Lake Pontchartrain on the I-10 bridge. It’s only 5 miles long. So we set up the RV at Pontchartrain Landing. It’s a nice spot near the lake, but only 15-20 minutes from the French Quarter, and they have a shuttle that takes us there a couple of times a day. So it works nicely for us. We drained the antifreeze, set up our dirt-caked RV, and got some groceries. We had a lot of cleaning to do inside. This is the first year we’ve had mice inside, so everything had to be removed and cleaned. Forgot to do the mint oil thing in the fall. We won’...

Vegas to Albuquerque

We left Las Vegas Monday morning, crossing the Hoover Dam, and ended up in Sun Valley, Arizona last night. So this is Lake Mead from Hwy 93 heading to the Hoover Dam. We didn’t stop at the dam as we have been there before, but it’s such a beautiful area...the canyon created by the Colorado River. And this is the river. We stopped in Seligman, Arizona, for some lunch and saw this place across the street. A famous spot on Rte 66, I guess. All along the I-40 is the famous Rte 66. Quite a variety of scenery along the way. We passed the Arizona Divide at 7335 feet above sea level. And we thought that was the end until today. So today, this is what we dealt with. Yep, we had everything while driving...cloudiness, rain, snow, sun, and hail. Fortunately it didn’t last long. It was rather nice on the rocks. At a stop we had. In spite of the desolate land in most places, it’s quite charming in some spots. Completely snow covered here... But it was tempo...
