… “He was only here long enough for a cup of coffee.”  That was us with Arkansas.  We drove about 450 miles from Memphis to Kansas City.  That’s 1.55 Spokanes to you sir.  It was our longest day on the road so far. And the end of the first week.

So far so good.  The car is working well.  The humans are working well.  We’ve had a good mix of driving and not driving and just enough touristy stuff to make it vacationy but not too vacationy.

Anyway, back to Arkansas.  It’s between western Tennessee and western Missouri, so we kind-a had to go there.  We cut across on a diagonal and got… a cup of coffee of course. You definitely feel the geography change as you go from the deep South (mostly flat) to the Ozark Mountains.  We weren’t on many Interstates, so it was a slowish drive.

We’re 1,200 miles in, about a third.  States visited so far:  GA, AL, MS, LA (very briefly), TN, AR (passed through) and MO.  Soon the states get bigger…

No photos today, ’cause we didn’t take any.
