Good Morning! I am actually up and getting on the road early (6:00 AM). This leg of the journey will take me to Springdale Arkansas... Approximately 8 hours road time taking it easy.

i'm so sorry you have to drive into arkansas. the most miserable parts of my trips are always through arkansas. the trucks tear up the roads and they are absolutely horrendous.

(oh and watch out for troopers - if you see Trooper Perry of the Humbolt Co. Sherrif's Department tell him I said hello.)

wait until you see all the bugs that collect on your bumper. did you bring any car wash supplies?

While looking at some cattle to my right (why would I do that?) the rear left side of the car went… KA BAM, THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD. I immediately pulled over and jumped out of the car to find a flat tire. Quickly knowing what to do, I set a Highway 40 record for changing to the spare (the jack that comes with the car is a good design). I got going down the highway to find a more convenient place to handle my situation.
