November 15, 2021 Travel to Toad Suck Park in Arkansas

We left early this morning and headed southwest, mostly on I-40.

The western part of Tennessee reminds me of PA with the rolling hills:

Past cotton fields – sorry about the picture:

And thru Memphis.  Every time I see this building, I know the Mississippi River is coming up.

This is the bridge that had some structural issues and was shut down for a while.  I cannot imagine the traffic jams on the other roads.

We are officially in the west – Smile

We had a long day and my Andy brought us safely to Toad Suck Park (I just LOVE the name).  It is an Army Corp of Engineer Park on the Arkansas River.  Here is our view and site:

The cities offer some great things but being in nature really sooths the soul.  So we will be here for four nights to relax (and get laundry done – LOL).

Stay tuned and enjoy today.
