Life on the Mississippi

On Thursday we crossed Arkansas, from Texarkana on the west to the Mississippi River on the East. We are spending the night at Tom Sawyer's RV Park on the shores of the river. The tugboats are pushing barges up-river and down.

The drive was just a little longer than usual (just under 300 miles) but it took a lot more time due to a major accident on Interstate 40.  We don't have all of the details, but the road became a 2-lane parking lot for over 2 hours.

People were walking around and talking to others for most of this time.  Everyone was pretty patient - thinking about those who suffered due to the accident.

Tomorrow we're heading to Nashville and will have a 4 day stay at the campground there.  Looking forward to seeing Jamie, Jeff, and cute little Shay!
