Crossing Arkansas and into Louisiana

We left Mountain Home and travelled to Harrison and then followed scenic Hwy 7 through the Ozark National Forest and the Quachita National Forest down to Hot Springs.  It was our first full day of bright sunshine (at 90 degrees). The roads twisted, climbed and dived down into valleys.  It was a challenging ride but not quite as hairy as the Appalachian curves in West Virginia.  At the end of the day Dave noticed his front tire was very badly worn from carving around all the tight turns and worried about possible rain in the future.  We got on the internet and found a honda dealer in Texarkana Texas which replaced his tire. We arrived around lunch time and they took his bike right in and changed the tire while we lunched at a nearby Wendys. After lunch we motored on south through western Louisiana and stopped in Leesville which is about 2 hours from the Gulf.  We have enjoyed two full days of bright hot sunshine as we are between two storm fronts.
Finally in the south we are amongst palm trees!

In addition we also saw some interesting southern signage and ads such as:
1.  "Diversity is another word for white annihilation"
2.  "If you died tonight, do you know where you would spend eternity?"
3. We also saw a TV ad for a "true defender of conservative values" running for congress.  The main points of his platform were:
- repeal Obamacare
- build the wall
- outlaw abortions
- defend the right to bear arms
- he also claimed to be the only candidate endorsed by the NRA
His accompanying video was of the candidate showing his 8 year old son how to shoot a rifle!
Gotta love the south!

Obviously, you will find ceramic rolex replica uk that are arriving a growing number of colours, however typically, whole ceramic instances continue to be mainly obtainable in just dark or even whitened. Whilst much more fascinating rolex replica sale associated with ceramic such as azure, dark brown, red-colored, as well as lemon tend to be rolex replica getting obtainable, they are mainly limited by bezels and also the colours are extremely hard to obtain correct. Therefore, having the ability to provide a long lasting, high-quality situation color replica watches sale ought to be very helpful with a individuals. The actual need to personalize rolex replica is actually growing, as well as I'm pleased to observe that the actual colours readily available for steel rolex replica layer tend to be growing. At this time, Rau-Tech neglects to provide all of the colours from the range, however a lot more than simply dark can be obtained.
