Chapter 5--Another day, another gas station donut

So here we are on the road again... Oddly enough, Arkansas was nothing like I imagined it. I'm not sure what I expected, but I'd always thought AR to be the kind of place where I might slow down, but wouldn't ever want to stop... I was quite pleasantly surprised! The upper corner of Oklahoma and upper Arkansas (where Rogers is) are both very beautiful with steep undulating hills, that are lush and tree covered. And, to top it off, the cool weather that had come through just before us had started the leaves changing, so the hills were twinged with color.

We were excited to get to Rogers, because it meant a night at Mono's house instead of a hotel, and a rest day with no driving on Saturday--a well earned break! We had a great time with Mono: sampling some yummy local Mexican food, watching sports on a sweet TV, exploring the best back country roads I've seen in a long time for a road bike tour, enjoying the beautiful weather at a cool state park (Devil's Den), and last but not least, completely gorging ourselves on true southern BBQ at the Whole Hawg Cafe. Too much fun!
