Toad Suck Park. Why would anyone name a park that? I guess what I found was a story of some guy that used to suck on bottles of moonshine and "swelled up like a toad". So the state of Arkansas has cleverly named not only a park but also a ferry and several other things, "Toad Suck". You can get a little more info here. link.

Today, we crossed the Mississippi. We crossed it on the border of Tennessee and Arkansas.



I apologize for the next picture, I don't have a panoramic lens but I cropped these two together, I tried to get a feel for how wide that dang river is, I was thoroughly impressed.



Arkansas was a short trip, about 5 hours and we were through. We only had to stop one time there for gas and the only cool thing we found in Arkansas, aside from relief from all the people in Tennessee that shunned us, was my new shirt. (This ones for you Nana)



Oklahoma so far is dark. I'd have a picture of us entering, however John was counting Cracker Barrels and Shoney's on the highway. It was light for a little while but we spent a while seeing how Cherokee casinos compared to Mohegan casinos.

That's all for now, the roads in Oklahoma are terrible and I can barely type.
