Well as you can see we made it to Arkansas today. But we were disappointed that when we got to Texas there was road construction and no "Welcome to Texas sign". Oh well we knew we were here.

We are on Route 30 at Mount Pleasant staying at a KOA Park for the night, about 120 miles from Dallas. It isn't like our Mount Pleasant in Michigan, we haven't seen a casino here.

This is the Mississippi River on Route 49 from Mississippi to Arkansas

Today has just been like any other New Years Day watching the some bowl games. The temperature is only 38 degrees. We will be heading out of here in the morning and headed in the direction of Dallas, Texas. It will take two days to reach Dallas.

This is one of the pictures I took of Bob shooting. It was a very cloudy day and about 50 degrees. He had a great time. One of the stations they actually threw the skeet at was like two rabbits running on the ground.

This is a picture of one of the things that the skeets are thrown from when the button is pushed. I tried to take a picture of the skeets in the air -- they just go to fast and I couldn't find them in the camera screen.

This is a picture of Bob at the skeet shooting (sporting clays). The person by him is pushing the button to send off two different directions from each of the 14 stations that he shoots from.

This has been another interesting day. It wasn't long after getting up that the lights dimmed AGAIN. At this point we knew it had to be the converter. The office up front gave us a guys name to call, he would come to us to repair it. So it is fixed. Bob took the old battery to Auto Zone they tested it and is was a weak battery. So it looks like the battery and converter both went at the same time.

We are also the proud owner of a new tire for the trailer. Bob will put this on the trailer tomorrow and put the spare back UNDER the trailer. Needless to say we want to put these days behind us.

It has been a rainy day with the temperature about 43 degrees. So we weren't doing anything outside today. Bob has reservations to go do skeet shooting (sporting clays)
tomorrow. I think it was 10 years ago that he did it and has always wanted to do it again. The clays are thrown at different angles, even like rabits running on the ground. I thought I'd go watch this time, but depends on the temperature tomorrow. I know it is warmer here than in Michigan, but still chilly.
