Travel Week #5 Year #2 (8/01-8/07) Little Rock, AR
Travel day to “Pirate Kansas” and a walk over the Clinton Presidential pedestrian bridge (converted railroad bridge) to see the Clinton Presidential Library and Arkansas River wetlands.
More AC maintenance to unplug the drain that had backed up and was leaking onto the kids’ beds in the back room, laundry and school and bills, another walk to see the “Cool Globes” exhibit at the Clinton Presidential Library.
The Inland Maritime Museum and what was supposed to be a 1.5 mile hike that was badly detoured and turned into almost 2.5 miles of walking downtown through construction sites at night.
Living life.
Travel day to Mississippi.

We walked about half mile from our campground to the USS Razorback museum. Behind us on the left is the Junction Bridge, another pedestrian bridge connecting the Arkansas River Trail loop.

We thought this would be a nice walk. A mile and a half would be pushing it for us, but we could do it. Except…

After we got home, ChimSta routed what we actually walked. Our mile and a half hike ended up almost two and a half miles. In the dark, downtown, through construction…
