Heading West ...Half way ....And Billy's Town

Hi one and all, long time no talk. Since our last post the weather has taken a bit of a wet twist. We drove south through New York,Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia before turning right (west) in Tennessee. The traffic has been heavier than 5 months ago and the rain has slowed us down but we have enjoyed the trip just the same.

The Nashville Skyline

We stopped in Nashville on the way out so was didn't stop this time. We continued on through Memphis and into Arkansas.

We made it to Little Rock Arkansas and decided to Shut down for a couple of days. We stayed at the same Rv park as last time, in downtown North Little Rock. The park is right beside the Arkansas river and a short walk to downtown Little Rock.

An interesting home made unit

We spent a day exploring both Little Rocks using the local trolley system. Not bad $2.00 for a day pass and we used it well.

Little Rock Public Market

We got off the trolley downtown and wondered the streets for awhile. We had "Chicago Style Pizza",walked the public market, and a couple of parks. We came across a wildlife museum and went inside. They have a different idea of wildlife instruction than we do. There were multiple displays of how to hunt and fish with furs on the walls of raccoon's,foxes,squirrels and skunks.

Game wardens teaching children to shoot

One of the courses you can sign-up for.  I like the part about it being a workshop for Families and Kids.

It was overcast and cool a great day to hike around. Little Rock is a great place to spend a couple days to sight see. Unfortunately we found out to late that it was Fall Fair weekend, I guess we will have to wait a little longer to try deep-fried butter balls(my arteries harden just a bit when I hear that).

We are half way to Desert Hot Springs and have had a great trip so far. We are looking forward to warm DRY weather of southern California but we have several days of driving ahead of us. We hope that you all are doing well and had a Happy Thanksgiving
