On the Road Again...


Beautiful day today, and we were back on the road again! We really enjoyed our time in Branson, and hope to return here one day, it is worth it!
By noon today, it was starting to really heat up, and we had to drive with the air conditioning on all afternoon... we had a few delays with accidents today, and heavy traffic down on the I-40. We made it to Memphis, Tennessee this afternoon, however we are still over 500 miles from Johnson City, which is on the other side of Tennessee. We will probably hit there on Thursday sometime. We find we can only do about 300 miles a day in this heat driving the big wheels, and then we are looking for a place to stay! Tonight we are in an agricultural Fair Grounds RV Park for the night. It has close access to the highway, and was only $25.00.
We have a couple pics from driving today, with Judy on the camera... the first one is some purple flowers, that you can hardly see as they zoom by, but they were real nice to look at... This was taken in Arkansas, and there is very heavy vegetation as you can see.

Every thing here was real green and nice... must rain here sometime....

We had to spend a couple of hours this morning running up and down the Ozark Mountains... very nice to look at, but slow going on a secondary highway. That's alright, I am retired!

Finally we made the mighty Mississippi, and headed across the big bridge, to Memphis, Tn.

Looks like the Egyptians were here on the left....

Got set up in our park tonight, and had a fight with setting up our Star Choice dish.... they can be a little tricky sometimes, and tonight the dish won! Usually I win, but not tonight.... oh well, it was only game 1 of the hockey anyways... a long way to go yet.

Till tomorrow....
