We arrived in Little Rock, AR yesterday after a couple of days on the road and some down time in Amarillo, TX and Oklahoma City, OK. Travel across North Texas was trying thanks to fog and wind. We spent a night in Amarillo waiting for weather to clear then on to Oklahoma City where we stayed two days waiting for the torrential downpours to stop. Oklahoma City to Little Rock on Interstate 40 made for a long day on the road thanks to windy conditions. We're in Maumelle Park, a beautiful facility operated by the Corps of Engineers. We'll stay here for a few days and enjoy the beautiful spring weather. Today we did some geocaching and visited the State Capital building, the Governors Mansion, Little Rocks Central High School and the National Park Service facility across the street from the school that documents the desegregation of Central High in 1957. We also visited the Big Dam Bridge.
The Big Dam Bridge is supposed to be the longest and most expensive pedestrian bridge in the world. It crosses the Arkansas River above the Murray Lockand Dam, thus the name.
