Default Re: Crossfires Across America #6 - Ozark Mountain Region - June 15-18, 2015

We left Thursday afternoon and visited the ONYX Cave in Eureka Springs, 3 miles or so off the highway and kinda neat, and then went to North Little Rock. We saw the Old Mill that was in the opening sequence of Gone With the Wind, I had been there previously in my time at Little Rock AFB. We then went to Lonoke to visit an old AF buddy and his wife. On the way back from Lonoke to NLR we about hit our own deer and the bugs sounded like rocks hitting the car. Then we headed of to New Orleans, hot tip - get gas before you hit south east ARK on the regular highways. I was extremely low the light was on for miles and passed up a station because it only had 87 octane. After 5 miles or so I had a change of heart and went back to get 5 gallons of 87 octane. I'm glad I did because the next station with 91 was 26 miles away as I found out. So the I get a rock chip in the windshield by Vicksburg Mississippi it is small with 2 small cracks going sideways, it will probably grow one day as these things do. New Orleans was interesting and the rest of the trip was fairly uneventfull.
