Second day of trip, Saturday, June 19, 2010. Sammy drove for about 10 hours today, only stopping for gas. I've learned to cook while traveling. The biggest problem is keeping your balance as we bounce along. What has been extra nice is not having to stop for bathroom breaks (except Sammy) every other hour. There is just enough room in the RV that the kids are getting along pretty well. I am having to find a way to hang our wet towels and bathing suits while we keep moving. Those little sticky hooks are doing the trick. The bathroom wall is now covered with towels and suits. Not too pleasing to the eye, but hey, you do what you gotta do. Observations of Arkansas, they people are super friendly, the landscape is gorgeous, but the heat is stifling.

We were fortunate enough to get to the Lake Dardenhelle State Park in Russellville, Arkansas just in time to get a spot for the night. The sun was setting and the place was absolutely gorgeous. We all wished we could spend more time here, but as vowed by Sammy Ballard, we were on the road at 7:52 in the morning. As we pulled out, all four young'uns were still snoozing. Weird, we seemed to have a lot more energy not having to drag and push four extras to get ready to go.

Made it into Arkansas.
