Awake: 6:06am inside temp 70 sleep 6+18 overnight inside the service bay
@ 6:40am, Dee the technician, starts our generator; he’s been installing a larger reservoir to fulfill the latest update on that 15KW unit. After he is finished, all the write-ups will be done on our coach & we should be moving outside by late morning.
Next, our coach is washed & then driven to a campsite where Mike & Ron explore the entertainment system. They discover the DirecTV account has been closed, so Mike suggests that I call DirecTV now & have our account switched over from our 2001coach before we leave. To my surprise, within (20) min, both TV’s are set up, running & we keep our original account.
That’s it! We are ready to go. We say our goodbyes to a few of the guys then attach our Suzuki & leave the Newell campground @ 1:10pm. We take US 69 (this section of 69 is much smoother than when we drove up 69 from Lake Kiowa to Miami….or is it the new ZF suspension system difference; then I-44 to Joplin, MO….I-71 & 540 to Little Rock & I-40 to Hazen, Arkansas.
Approaching Little Rock, Kathy calls the “T-Rick’s” campground checking for availability; yes. We arrive @ T-Rick’s campground @ 7:15pm with a fading sun. The campsites are concrete with full hookups & big rig friendly; there are no other amenities; perfect for an overnight visit.
