Re: “how did you guys like the drive across Arkansas. What did the state look like? Did ya see the Ozarks or were ya too far south?”
Sorry to disappoint, but Arkansas looked like DARK to us. We entered well after sunset, and found a rest area about an hour later. I woke at 3:15 a.m. and continued the drive. While we took a lot of pictures, Arkansas is the only state where we took none.

One thing about Arkansas that I'll never forget is that I've never seen so many semis in my life. At one point, as I drove and my wife slept, I counted the oncoming big rigs to pass the time, starting anew whenever I saw anything smaller. The count averaged about 7, with the highest reaching 24. That's 24 approaching big rigs before seeing a single car!

I don't remember much about the terrain. We drove though Little Rock (I think that's what it was) while it was still dark. At some point, the highway split and nearly all of the big rigs vanished. I think the remainder of my time in the state was desolate. At some point the sun came up, but I don't remember anything remarkable about the state.

Here are the first two photos we took after that 'Welcome to Arkansas' video:

Inquiring minds want to know as I have driven across that same bridge, but did not go very far into Arkansas, how did you guys like the drive across Arkansas. What did the state look like? Did ya see the Ozarks or were ya too far south?

For the life of me I cannot quite wrap my head around what the lure and appeal of New Hampshire and its cold, snowy winters had for a retreat from leftwing radicalization. You just drove through Tennessee which has pretty nice weather AND is a moderate climate. You can live in the wilderness areas or suburbs or big cities. They have mountains as well and is a conservative state with more conservative states surrounding it..

SO, that is kind of why I am wondering somewhat..

You guys had a drop dead gorgeous looking new home built on beautiful acreage. So I am not picking on y'all about that. I love the beauty as well.. Just curious as if you considered Tennessee as potential habitat and home site..

Hope you have a great return trip and maybe can enjoy some of the great beauty of what remains of this country.. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
