Arkansas museum

Ka-ching! The guy called and told us he had the a/c running in the trailer so we were off and running to Little Rock and back to Maumelle campground. We will play during the weekend before Leon's Monday morning checkup at the eye doctor! The football games provided us a chance to discover Buffalo Wild Wings where they just happened to have wifi!



We strolled along the Arkansas River and toured the River Market area downtown. The revitalized area in Little Rock always seems so pleasant.


Yes, we will come back to town with our bikes and take them up the elevator and across the bridge between Little Rock and North Little Rock. 


Now this is an experienced dog walker. As we approached he quietly said stay and all the dogs halted in unison.


While in town we toured the old territorial restoration, now called the Arkansas museum. It was surprising to have one of my former students lead the tour. There are several old buildings on the property with guides dressed in period costume and a nice little museum. This building was brought from Scott to the restoration. Although it was built in the 1850s people were living in it until 1960. Life just hasn't moved that quickly in Scott, Arkansas.
