We moved right along and enjoyed the sights of the small towns and like you we also miss the mountains but were into the rolling hills before we actually realized we were out of the dessert. How strange is that? Hahaha.... The flat lands have a magic of their own I have no doubt but they haven't appealed to me the way the mountains do for some reason. I guess I like the break in the horizon more than a realized. <br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-20945128418855276842018-03-21T21:34:45.638-04:002018-03-21T21:34:45.638-04:00Thanks Shirley.

Actually the day wasn't too long a travel day and it passed quickly, the little towns keeping it interesting to be certain. Not a lot of traffic to start the day and that made the drive nicer as well. <br /><br />Thanks!!<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-47467709683979474852018-03-21T21:33:14.932-04:002018-03-21T21:33:14.932-04:00Thanks George.

No rush, nothing to hurry for and I will say that I've noticed the further east we come the busier the roads are getting. The more hurried the drivers seem to be as well. <br />We thought of you and Suzie today as we passed by a sign that said Glen Rose, but we were already in Arkansas and I'm not sure if there is a Glen Rose, AR or not, I haven't checked. <br /><br />Safe travels to you and Suzie as well. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-65763663124817414832018-03-21T21:30:49.210-04:002018-03-21T21:30:49.210-04:00Thanks Deb.

US 82 East is a great road, lots to see, plenty of places to stop if you feel the urge and I'm going to say that a lot of little towns would probably let you stay overnight in their lots if you asked. We weren't in the mood to stop but you and Tom seem to travel differently and have more time to spare so it may be something you might like. A great deal of US 84 East is 4 lane and occasionally goes down to two but today was the longest stretch of 2 lane, it had some passing lanes but not as many as earlier. The road was in good condition and well signed. Not a lot of big cities to contend with on US 82 E either. Just some thoughts that might be of interest to you and Tom. <br /><br />Thanks Deb, safe travels to you and Tom as well. <br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-453963623176508022018-03-21T21:26:08.853-04:002018-03-21T21:26:08.853-04:00Hey Doug.

We're looking at rain for the next number of days in Tennessee and I was wondering if that weather system will reach further north and cause you issues. <br /><br />We're enjoying the ride, seeing some back country and some interesting things along the way. <br /><br />Safe travels to you and Yuma!!<br /><br />Take care, be safe, <br />DebOn a long and lonesome highway....https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585276461507236822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-282843307853083122018-03-21T21:23:56.078-04:002018-03-21T21:23:56.078-04:00Thanks Rick.

I miss seeing the mountains at the end of the road. It does look like you are on a good road though. We are still discussing our route and are giving serious thought to going east as far as Tennessee before turning north. We may be following some of your path so thanks for the road information.<br />Wishing you and Riley continued safe travels.Tom and Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564285175697134395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4220239671215406231.post-26027355792742253142018-03-21T00:54:22.754-04:002018-03-21T00:54:22.754-04:00Looks like a nice peaceful day of driving.
