Homeward Bound - Day 22

Overnight: Morrilton, Arkansas (east of Russellville and west of Little Rock)




Note: For those of you who have been keeping up with the blog, scan down and see some new pics added to previous stops.

This morning we didn't arise as early as I had hoped, so we didn't get on the road until our "normal" time of 10 A.M.

We stopped for gas and then were on our way. By the way, our gas prices on the road seem to be about $3.13 on average. We paid as low as $3.09 and as high as $3.39. We are still averaging about 8.5 MPG.

We had an essentially uneventful day today. We did notice that the waters were a little high in Arkansas. But, we didn't see any significant flooding. Some of the sod farms and other farm lands seemed a bit "over wet."

We stopped for dinner at the same Mexican restaurant that we stopped at in Russellville on our way to ABQ. We tried to stay at Ivy's RV Park again, but it was still full of those folks who are cleaning out the nuclear power plant. So, we drove on to Morrilton and settled in at the KOA. We have pretty good WiFi here.

We will have a repair to make when we get home. The wind ripped the plastic edge of the fascia piece that goes under the bottom edge of the slide-out. Of course, it's part of an entire piece that runs the full length of the slide-out. Not sure how much that will run, but sure it won't come cheap, and I'm sure the repair shop will have to order that piece.

We do have an overwhelming swarm of "baby" flies to deal with, but the door is shut and, so far, we don't seem to have them inside Homey-Roamy.

We notice that we have deer tracks right at the foot of our RV steps, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled. Dave would be the better tracker, but he's crashed on the bed (it's 7 P.M.). Not sure what tomorrow will bring. We are toying with stopping to see the capitol in Little Rock, but I'm now getting a bit anxious to be home. So, we'll have to see how it goes tomorrow.
