Day 33: Willow Beach, Arkansas to Hohenwald, Tennessee

 Day 33 - Willow Beach, Arkansas to Hohenwald, Tennessee

  • Left: 8:15AM, Arrived: 2PM
  • Miles: ~300 miles
  • Mostly sunny, high ~70F, lows in upper 50s

Arkansas has the best roads! So smooth & not bumpy at all. It was a welcome change.


We were up shortly after 6AM, coffee before showers. The toilet / shower combo was good enough.  The room was heated, pretty clean, the water was warm but not hot.  I did share it with a big wolf spider but it didn’t move the entire time I was in there.  We had a quick breakfast at camp, made another pot of coffee for the road, got hooked up & was on the road by 8:15AM.  


There was some rain moving through so it was good thing we packed everything up the night before.  We started the drive in the rain.  The first day of driving in the rain the entire trip! We stopped in Lexington, Tennessee for BBQ sandwiches at B.E. Scott's BBQ & ate them in a city parking lot. Really great BBQ.


We arrived at Oliver Travel trailers at 2PM.  We walked through the 3 trailers they had in the showroom.  They have a small campground on site with water & electric hook ups that we spent the night at. Such a fancy way to spend out 19th anniversary!


Steve needed a small glass fuse for his air pump so we walked to the nearby shopping center. We had to try four places before we found something that would work at Auto Zone.  Once all the employees left for the day we had the place to ourselves so we were able to walk the dogs off leash which was nice.  We had another night of salads for dinner then spent rest of evening in the camper. At the time, we didn't realize it would be our last night in the Casita, not just for the trip but forever!
