Another beautiful day in Paradise, sunny and warm.

We are on the road by 9am, heading straight
up the I30 until Little Rock and then east on I40, just because we wanted to
get some miles under our belt today, big day for us - 200 miles which is about
3 hours, plus we need to stop for supplies and diesel.
The roads were good, but super busy with trucks. Even took a photo
at one point as all we could see coming towards us westbound was a sea of trucks! Some wag on the CB wondered if there were free doughnuts further west! And I thought rail moved a lot of stuff here?

Around 2pm we arrived at Tom Sawyer RV Park, in West
Memphis. Funnily we are still in
Arkansas, but once we cross the Mississippi, which is right outside our front
window, we will be in Tennessee.

| We are in site 63, looking over the Mighty Mississippi |

The strangest pet we have seen yet over here - Daisy the pot belly, being walked by her owner along with two
pugs! I feel a song coming on - pigs and pugs! The Mississippi is running fast, maybe 10
knots and the many barges, some three across and six or seven long are pushed
against the flow at a small rate of knots.
The barges coming the other way do not struggle at all to make way.

C&C weren’t here when we first arrived but by the time we had set up and checked out the scenery, they were back, so caught up with
them for a couple of HH hours : ) Just like old times!
