To central Arkansas

Monday 10/28

Observations:
More brilliant colours, more ups and downs.
As I'm having trouble writing in a coherent fashion due to lack of time I will continue with short comments as we travel.
So many Flea markets, dollar stores, auction barns everywhere.
Lots of streets named Mockingbird, Nightingale.
Fog burned off, lovely day as we drive away from the Ozarks, towards the delta area.
St Joe, Center of the Ozarks
Camden AR, Fire training Center where Josh came for his training. Fellow in Courseys meats had a t shirt on from the training Center. He did his training in 2002 and said there were a lot of Canadians in the course. Then a fellow walks in to purchase some things and he's wearing a tshirt with, " Bryan Adams, local crew". He has worked in the entertainment business for many years and has worked with Bryan many times. Go figure when you are in a holler called Pickle Creek that you find such connections. I traumatized them both by asking them to have their pictures taken, lol.
Lots of road kill every morning and today I'm sure they were Armadillos, feet up on the side of the highway. They look prehistoric and scaley rather than furry like skunks or raccoons.
1st greyhound bus seen with its destination sign on....Kansas City:) ....another queue for a song.....:)
Walmart camp, near Conway
Haircut in Walmart, $15.50 for shampoo and cut. So nice to have someone shampoo your hair. Another fun experience asking questions about the lives of the young girls working there.
Game 5 World Series.
I wonder sometimes if people question our choice to stay in Walmart parking lots. When we find a place we want to stay for some time we don't hesitate to pay for a state park or preferably a Corp of Engineers park. But when we are traveling we dont know when or where we might stop. It all depends on our energy for the day, a destination, or how many miles we feel like traveling. We don't need any services and a Walmart offers us a normally quiet night and also the opportunity to pick up the supplies we need.
Feet up and watching game 5 of the World Series ...go St Louis!!!
