Hi All,
Didn't post last night because the campground's wifi was out. I was in Elk City, OK. Today I made it as far as Conway, Arkansas. Haven't stopped much to look around except for gas. I've looked at the scenery though. Sure is pretty. Lot's of wild flowers. Many that we don't have in California. I saw a real live road runner at the edge of the freeway yesterday. Interesting roadkill besides the usual unfortunate animals. Many armadillos, snakes, two deer, and even a small bear cub back in Arizona. I've never seen an armadillo befor either. Each state seems to have it's own look. It's been getting greener and more forested. Arkansas has a whole lot of trees and bushes just like the eastern part of the country. Whoops, it is the eastern part of the country already. Tonights's weather is wonderful- 70s and no wind. For the first time i'm sitting outside with my Colman lantern and assorted bugs posting this. No real problems with the tear except that I seem to olnly have half of a spring on one side. Don't know if I started out like that. Still have clearance around the tire. Got very worried and stopped by an RV repair place. Found out that it has some odd (very short) kind of single slipper spring that can't be found. The guy looked in several catalogs. Said it would be alright to continue on my trip, just make sure the clearance dosen't get less and keep my speed down. When I get to Georgia, I'm going to have the springs replaced. Not something I planned to do. If all goes well, I may be there Friday. Will try to take some more pictures.
