urry, but it looks like a semi must have caught on fire. Now we are free to continue on our merry way. We have about 5 miles before we get onto I-30 west and head out for Texarkana, Arkansas and the temp here is now 70 degrees.
Up at 7:15 a.m. ate breakfast and out the door at 8:15 a.m. no messing around with Mr. T. It is a little windy with overcast skies and the sun in trying to peep through, and the temp is now 44 degrees.

Danny Thomas St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is here in downtown Memphis.12:00 p.m. - We are in a traffic jam on this bridge in the picture at the Arkansas State Line. The temp. is a nice 64 degrees and still windy, but nice. Seems they closed the left lane for construction. Ole "Nellie" told us awhile back that 20 miles up the road this would happen.
1:30 p.m. - It is extremely windy here in Brinkley, Arkansas and gas here is a nice $1.53 - $1.59 a gallon. We stopped to have a bite to eat and listen to our "Noah" weatherman and he says there are 10-20 
mile per hour winds, with gusts to 30 mph! There is suppose to be a cold front coming in here tonight right now we are 41 miles from Little Rock. I-40 west in this area is a double lane interstate with woods on both side going north and south.

We are in Lonoke, Arkansas on I-40 W and about 14 miles from Little Rock, Ark.
2:20 p.m. - Just starting to move at 3-8 mph. Took some pics of the fall color trees along the road since we were not moving much. Traffic is backed up for miles and miles.

It came down very fast with a lot of lightning. Abby was freaking out and hid under the seat. As soon as we finished checking in, the rain stopped and the storm passed on through. Weird!! This is a nice place and very clean and a good place to stop for the evening.
