Are You Still Thinking Hmmmmm?

 Okay, you've had a while to ponder the place names we have seen so far on our trip. Now I must add another to the list. Toad Suck Ferry, Arkansas. That's correct, Toad Suck Ferry. We drove from Grenada Lake, MS, to Toad Suck Ferry. Along the way we passed Leland, MS which claims to be the home of Kermit the Frog. It is the boyhood home of Jim Henson. Also in Mississippi we passed BB King's museum and the Cotton Capitol of the World!

 

 We had a great site overlooking the Arkansas River.

  

We had a great view of the bridge and the lock. The bridge opened in 1970. Before that, there was a ferry to carry people across the Arkansas River from Conway to Toad Suck. By the way, Toad Suck was named for the saloon which stood on the south bank of the river.

 While staying at Toad Suck, we found a few geocaches, but the weather was so hot that it was not fun!

From Toad Suck we continued on our way to Siloam Springs, Arkansas, to visit Bob's parents. We also needed to recoup our budget to get it back to $75 a day. It just so happened that on our last day in Siloam we helped Bob's mom celebrate her 82nd birthday!

From Siloam Springs it was time to continue our journey. More to come soon!
