On the map we found a town by the name of “Hector”. That was just too good to miss, so we marked that as our first destination:
They had a hardware store named after us:
A pharmacy:
A football team:
Our own café:
And even a Presbyterian church:
We had to get a (family-1) photo in front of city hall:
After that we drove though the Ozark Mountains, and admired the scenery. For lunch we stopped at a cemetery. Weird, I know, but the neighborhood was quiet:
Someone forgot the can opener, so that meant we had to figure out another way to get to our tuna. My first idea was a shotgun, but dad had better ideas:
Then we decided that we would slowly make our way through the backwoods of Arkansas, on our way to Memphis. One of the downsides of backroads are that you never know who is going to be one them. In this case, we got stuck behind a school bus, which stopped at nearly every driveway. That took awhile:
Coming down out of the Ozarks there were lots of signs warning of steep grades, and other such hazards foretelling the end of the world. Dad gritted his teeth and mentioned something about there might as well have been a skull and crossbones on the sign:
We kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for the steep part, but this is all there was:
Yep, they think to much of their downhill grades in their state, our driveway is steeper.
After that, we crossed into Tennessee:
Driving through Memphis we saw very odd things. A pyramid:
A large stone egg:
And the house of Elvis:
Supposedly, Elvis was downtown, playing cards with Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness monster, but we were in a bit of a hurry to get to dinner….
Monday night means one thing, Dancing With the Stars is on. Trip or no trip, that is something that can’t be missed, especially the semi-finals! So, we had to made dinner quick, and this is what we chose:
So, pulling into the RV park, we settled back with a few burgers, and relaxed. It was a good day….
Later.
