Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

House made sauces.

Nearly forgot to mention, these are spectacular in Eat where we had breakfast.



Once parked up we went walkabout to Jackson Square via the typical tourist shops.

I love these city busses that have space for bicycles up front.



Saw loads of cool merchandise, some funnier than others.











Stickers I liked.



Jackson Square was pretty much deserted.

Major General Andrew Jackson



Yes, it was still raining.



Some art





I also saw one of the gardens noisiest inhabitants.

Cicada



And an awesome John Deere Bicycle.



Wake Up !!!



Special parking can be bought from the city.



On leaving we realised there was a clown in the car.







We hit the motorway in order to try beat the tropical storm that was rolling in.

Passing the left overs from Hurricane Katrina.



It let up from time to time for a minute or two, then wind and rain again.





We did navigate back to that yard with all the cars.



Just about everything covered in brown primer.

And no, we have no idea either.













Made it out of Louisiana into Mississippi and then into Louisiana again, crossed the state line and had a great rest break, including free coffee and chat.

Craig has more about this stop.




Onward we went, into Arkanasas eventually

Looking for a place for the night, in this bad weather.







Heading for Pine Bluff, we had to run through Dumas, no idea why.







Some great shop advertising.



Craig also identified the Road Trip logo on a T-Shirt.




After leaving the city where the rain really messed it all up, we headed for Fayetteville to try break the 600 mile plus trips back.

Eventually we made it to Pine Bluff, booked into a Motel 6 for the night, Dennis managed to get a massive Family suite, large enough for a circus

Then dinner.........

Only one place open....

The Red Lobster.

Dinner was excellent as was the company but the beer sucked big time.

I suspect they sell a keg a month.

Eventually back to the hotel and to bed in great spirits, drinking our own beers from the cooler in the trunk.

So ended Sunday
