Arkansas Post National Park

Parks of any kind are a draw for us, National Parks especially so.  For our last day on the road, we decided to visit Arkansas Post National Park.  The way in displayed a waterway with the biggest, and tallest, white water lillies I have ever seen!

Serenity.  As the oldest settlement in Arkansas, it hadn't always been so.  The history here is as rich as the flora and fauna.

Skye declared it to be the perfect place to run in the event of a national catastrophy (we were only 90 miles from Ground Zero on 9/11/2001!).

It was after 10 pm by time we rolled into her driveway in Avoyelles Parish LA.  Rosie's head gasket was leaking, and she was due for a tire.  I got up the next morning to take her in to Dannie Davis, put her in gear, let out the clutch, and she didn't move.  Glitch!  Seeing the confused look on my face, Skye pointed down at Rosie's rear tire.  Her belt had broken!  She was telling me
"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!"

Stay tuned as the retelling of this adventure unfolds ...
