Sunday

Up, dressed and unhooked by 7:30, we decided an early start was preferable to pancakes.   We 'finished' Oklahoma, crossed Arkansas and reached Buffalo River, TN, the midway point between Memphis and Nashville--516 miles.

The prospect of adding to the heat and humidity inside the RV by cooking dinner was quite unpleasant so we went to the near-by Log Cabin Country Restaurant.  (I've learned that 'country' is a code word meaning 'breaded and deep-fried.')  Almost everything on the menu was cooked the country way--including green beans. ???

A fellow camper, who had also been traveling east on I-40 on Sunday but a bit behind us, said they'd spent over an hour in the back-up caused by an accident late the previous afternoon.  As Fred exited for gas, we spotted the back-up and were able to detour past the congestion.

Sunday night was hot, even with the AC running at capacity, and noisy.  We heard the traffic on I-40 and the cicadas who inhabited the trees all around us.
