Little Turtle RV & Storage Eufaula OK

I was also curious about Little Turtle. Turns out years ago when the current owner bought the property with the intent of making it into a RV Park he let his young daughter name it. There is a definite Turtle vibe throughout the park. I try to book a commercial place every once in a while so that we can do laundry. We did stop at a tire shop at a town not far from here and the mechanic didn't think the tire was fixable. There was wire exposed on the interior of the tire. I went ahead and bought a new tire that we will use as a spare. It's the correct size but it's made by a different manufacturer and I'm not super confident in it's quality but it should work as a spare. These pics Jenny took yesterday.

Mt Magazine day 2

I took the last one of those Black Box antibiotics I had to take this morning. Hopefully they did what they were supposed to do. I got out on my bike for a short ride on a loop (paved) road just to see if I remembered how to ride. Jenny and I did some touristy sightseeing  from the car and ended up at the Lodge. I guess it isn't too weird for Arkansas, but this park is in a dry county and we had to join their "private club" in order to buy an adult beverage yesterday. I thought dry counties weren't a thing anymore. I did get a membership card that I will cherish forever. Oklahoma tomorrow. We found a tire store enroute to our destination

so we will try to have that bad tire patched.

Mount Magazine SP Arkansas

Mount Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas. (2753 feet) The park is right on top of the mountain which makes it alittle cooler. There is a fabulous lodge with expansive views where we ate dinner. The campground is tiny with only 18 sites. We might do a short hike or 2 tomorrow. Jenny is keeping me on a pretty short leash even though I'm feeling alittle better. We're here tomorrow and then it's Oklahoma. 

Chicksaw day 2

First, the flat tire. We called Coachnet and they found someone willing to come out here. The mechanic was a girl. She finished with the tire change at 10 o'clock last night and had a 60 mile drive home. The old tire has a slit in it on the tread. Not sure if that can be repaired. On another note: I developed a pain in my left calf a couple of days ago and knowing that the antibiotics I'm on could cause tendinitis I called our Dr in Beaufort to ask his advice. He was worried that I might have a blood clot. Shit! It was off to the emergency room for an

ultrasound. Everything was (normal) so it probably is the antibiotics. I only have 2 more days of that. We are in Arkansas tomorrow. 

Chickasaw SP Tennessee

That's called a semi-sandwich. We are here for 2 nights. The bad news is one of the dually tires is flat. We didn't notice it until we pulled into the camp. No telling how long it was flat. We will obviously need some help with that. God,this is fun. 

Newport Tennessee

Today is the first day (4 days delayed) of our summer trip. We are trying to catch up to our schedule. To do that we are having to put in extra miles for the first 2 days. There was some frustration with the construction delays but we pulled in here at 5. This is a KOA near the eastern end of Tennessee. Tomorrow we will drive most of the the length of the state and camp in a state park that is on our original schedule. This pic is a rest area on I 26. Super interesting, I know. 

Paula Ernst comes for a visit

Paula is a friend Jenny has has since 9th grade. Her last name, Ernst and Jenny's name, Everett, put them in the same home room. I didn't meet her until I met Jenny. She spent a few days here and then they spent a few days in Savanah.
