Some pretty countryside with golden grasses, bright blue cornflowers and delicate queen Anne's lace.
We decide to head for home, via Memphis and across Arkansas. Beth drives for a couple of hours, just to be sure she remembers how :). High water along the route, and we are surprised to see many rice fields along I-40 in Arkansas. We finish the Sandra Brown book on tape.
Cross Arkansas and reach Texarkana - back in Texas, but still 6 or 7 hours to go. We see quite a few deer in Texas. Hwy 59 is being groomed into Hwy 69 which will run to Mexico and the road is much improved over what it was years past when we've come this way.
We run into storms again, though. Heavy rain, lightning and decide to stop in Marshall, Texas for some sleep and then drive into Spring tomorrow morning. We have dinner at a small place called Catfish King in Atlanta, TX. Has been here for 28 years! Arrived home about 9 AM Thursday, July 3.
10,800 miles. 64 days.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteMy mind has a hard time getting around all you've done in 64 days. Not to mention how unfathomable it is that you've put over 10k around over the country.
You two are AMAZING.
I/We love you!
