Day 5 – Crossett, AR – 127 miles!

Well today was by far our best progress! Of course it was also a day when our bikes rode on top of the car behind the motorhome.

Shortly after getting to camp last night the sky really opened up and we got quite a storm. I took that as just the sign needed to convince dad to take a break today and cover some of the route by motorhome.

When we first talked about this trip my schedule was more flexible and time on the road wasn't an issue. Fate being what it is, work has picked up, and now I need to be back mid-August.

Looking at our route and our current rate of progress it was starting to look like time would run out before we finished. Since we are both looking forward to the Blue Ridge Parkway, skipping this section, which looks an awful lot like the roads we have been traveling the last few days, seemed like the right thing to do.

The other challenge is finding RV campgrounds in this area. We have been finding campgrounds about 100 miles apart, which is a little farther than we want to try and ride right now.

Once again there is no internet at this campsite so I will post this the next time I can get online.
