The rest of the buses are to the right |
Me in front of the "Little Rock" |
Later, in Little Rock, I met up with a snow bird friend who was heading home from Seal Beach. We caught a ride on her free hotel shuttle to the River Market area, and had the funniest (unintentionally) southern gentleman as a driver. He ended up giving us an impromptu tour of town. We laughed and enjoyed him on the way to a wonderful dinner, after which he picked us up and continued the tour on the way back to the hotel. Besides him being entertaining, we got a good look around town. And learned a lot about Clinton. I ended up staying over at the dog friendly hotel with my friend.
4/29 We got an early start this morning, but it was soon delayed. I had unplugged the trailer connection and forgotten to reconnect it when I drove off. The cable dragged along the ground for several miles before I noticed it. The connectors in the plug were completely worn away which meant I had no lights on the trailer; brakes, or turning, as well as no connection to operate the brakes or charge up the trailer. So I had to find a place to fix it. That wasn't too hard to do, and as usual, I met and chatted with some very interesting locals in the process. And it turned out to be a cheap fix.
As we had started the day, there was a large caravan of electic company trucks. There had to be 40 of them. As they got off the freeway, I followed them and took a picture. I believe they were from different areas rendevoing in town to try to get the power back for the people that had lost it. The rest of the day was spent driving. Not too boring, but boring. Lots of green, gentle hills, farms, more farms. And wind....really strong wind. I saw two 18 wheelers blown over. As I write this, I am in the Wal Mart parking lot being rocked by the wind. Yes...I ended up at Wal Mart tonight. At least the price is right.
