Arkansas! First time in this state!

Well back on the road. We have seen many many armadillos......all sleeping at the side of the road 😬. They are such cool dudes but prefer to see them alive.

So a guy named "Cowboy" ...well we named him that,  his actual name was Clint.  But he said you know how you tell if someone is from down south? Ask them to spell Mississippi.....

If you spell it proudly as Mississippi.... you are not from down south....if you spell it like this.... you are truly from the south....

Mi "crooked letter" "crooked letter " I "crooked letter" "crooked letter" I ""hump back" "hump back" I.


So far central Arkansas is similar to northern Missouri, rolling hills and quite a lot of trees. Lots of dogwood trees here.

As today is a travel day, I always love to take pics off cute or odd things along the way.

This road to the college is very aptly named...Opportunity Avenue"...

Which light is ours.....could they squeeze in anymore here???

Typical landscape here.


And this little town died a long long time ago...I think when they built the Dollar General and Taco Bell... they killed the old downtown area...only one store still alive.


Arrived at Hot Springs Arkansas, Gulpha Gorge National Park...amazing, we are right beside a creek, it's so beautiful.

We originally booked 2 nights... then George questioned the need for that....so I cancelled the second night....then we loved it so much....we were able to re-reserve a second night,  yay!

Had a quick thunder storm but now back to better weather!

Looking forward to tomorrow!

June 10 - Lazy day

Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...

June 6 - Downtown Asheville

Image
The temperatures here are refreshing....it cooled down last night to about 14 degrees...first time in a long time that the air conditioner was turned off and windows opened to let the breeze in through the night... We spent the day tripping around Asheville. Lu is in Doggy Daycare today so we are on our own. There are many large old buildings with individual little boutique stores and eateries.. Our first church we have been in on this trip...we got invited in so ..why not! Very cool area, we mostly window shopped....browsed around...enjoyed the cool old buildings... We saw quite a few old buildings converted into "Art walks" where there were individual artist displays/sales....love this guy!!!! A bike made out of wood....$60,000.00!!! Then back out on the streets!! Asheville is Beer Capital USA...and by 2:00...still no beer in our be...
