Left Red Bay

We left Red Bay, AL at about 10:30 am.  Drove thru Mississippi, Tennessee and on to Arkansas.  Our destination is to meet Bob and JoAnn Srutka at Lake Dardanelle State Park in Russellville, AR.  That was approximately 400 miles.

Crossing the Mississippi River really scared me because it has been in the news a lot.  It sure was over its banks....
