Crossett, AR

Fall Colors

Our trip from Magnolia to Crossett was pretty smooth except for a couple of flats on Monty's bike. They came right on top of each other and it was concluded that a spoke was punching through the tube. So a re-taping of the rim inside seems to have fixed the problem. We are in a heavily wooded area. Looks a little like Oregon.

Crossett is not a very big town, but we found a nice motel here and were directed to a Chinese buffet for dinner. Even sold a couple of tee shirts!

One of the things that troubled our pair of bike drivers is that the newly established route does not go through Louisiana as indicated on our tee shirts and the sign on the tailgate of the pickup. We are only 9 miles from the border here, so Monty and Dave decide to go to the Louisiana border and step inside to show we were in that state. Makes you wonder if we have too much time on our hands, doesn't it?

Lots of Trees

Welcome to Louisiana

It was interesting that at the Louisiana border the road shoulder totally disappeared. If all the roads are like that, we are happy to not be riding there. Arkansas gets high marks for road condition. Probably the best we have seen.

Tomorrow we will be of to Greenville, Mississippi. It is on the east bank of the Mississippi river, and I suspect a few pictures will be taken there.

So I cant think of anything else, so until tomorrow - God bless.
