Heading South!

September 10 – We left this morning about 9:00 and spent the day on the interstate.  There were sections of heavy traffic and sections of no one.  Once we got to the outskirts of Little Rock it got crazy.  We saw traffic backed up on the other side of the highway and then we saw a Semi off the road laying have tipped over into the trees.  The traffic was backed up for miles.  The police were already there and I’m guessing the ordered rescue from behind us as there was no way they could come down the highway as backed up as it was.

Then I noticed in the passenger sideview mirror something flapping on the side of the RV and I zipped off the road and put on my flashers.  We got out and the vertical trim on the passenger side slide was coming off so Bill got out the trusty duct tape and we taped it up as far as we could reach.  WE checked on it as we drove and it didn’t come off.  When we stopped for the night it was still secure.  Bill added it to the list of items for General RV to fix when we take it in to them in October.

We booked 2 nights in Hazen, AR right off the interstate.  It’s small campground on a rise behind the owner’s house.  There are 12 sites I think.  There are 2 pull throughs but we got a back in.  We do have full hook ups so I can do a load of laundry both days.

We asked our neighbor about restaurants and he suggested we go into Stuttgart which is about 20 miles.  They also have a Walmart so that’s our excitement for tomorrow!
