The "Natural State"

Travel day, as we have decided Chatanooga will be our next stop. We just pulled into our site in Little Rock, pleased to be among the trees, and it smells so good!! That earthy, woodsy smell that soothes the senses. The crickets are chirping, and last years leaves are crunching underfoot. That's my only disappointment of the day. The leaves are still green here! A bit of a turn but not much. Arkansas has rolling hills and many lakes and parks, one with the name Toad Suck Park! After being alerted to the homes of country western stars in OK, this was pretty amusing. We stopped at a rest area to stretch and the grass was covered with butterflies! It was so neat! Wonder if they are migrating. Another amusing thing today. We suddenly heard some banging, and decided it must be the latch that holds the door open banging in the wind. It seemed to stop before I got a chance to pull over, so I was not worrying about it. Then I put the turn signal on and saw something flapping in the side view camera. Clem leaned out the window to investigate, as we could now see it in the side mirror, and came back in with a piece of plastic that apparently had worked it's way loose from the awning strut! Now, maybe you had to be there, but I was in hysterics, driving down the road at 65 mph!!
