Day 13 July 3 |
|||||
 |
|||||
|
Since I didn't take a day 'off' on this ride, I purposely made this a 'shorter' day by design. I figured I'd be dragging by now and I am. It is so nice to see the green again after all the brown and dry as I start my day. |

 |

| At Conway, I leave I40 for back roads so that I can bypass the train wreck in Memphis created by the broken bridge. Highway 64 will be the first one that I follow up to cross the Mississippi River on I155. | |||||
 |

|
When I see this sign I have to wonder - "Do two norths trump one east?" |
|||||
 |
|||||
| It sure is nice to be out in the country after two long days on the slab. | |||||
 |
|||||
| Their corn crop looks pretty good here also. | |||||
 |
|||||
| As I make my way across Arkansas, I do run across some interesting town names like this one ... | |||||
 |
|||||
| and this one. | |||||
 |
|||||
| After a bit of twisting and turning I get across the mighty Mississippi ... | |||||
 |
|||||
| on I155 which is somewhat north of Memphis and will take me around Dyersburg. | |||||
 |
|||||
| Then it's continue on Highway 412 which takes me back to I40 on the other side of Memphis. | |||||
 |
|||||
| Once I get back to I40, I can count the mile markers to the Holler as I have made this run more times than I can remember. This trip has been a few miles short of 7,000 but quite the ride as far as mental and physical endurance is concerned. Before long I'm back at my beloved Holler and tonight I will be sleeping in my own bed. It has truly been an adventure and that is a good thing. If we do not have adventures, then our lives can easily become ruts. And ruts are just a grave with the ends kicked out. | |||||
