    Coming into little Rock,,,,,,Wideload says another road to his place is shut down and a barge hit the I-155 bridge on the Mississippi and it was shut down,,,,,,seems like each state has one bridge to get across the Mississippi and if it is closed,,,,,go try the next state,,,,,,so,,,,,on to Memphis and turn left,,,,,

    The bridge on I 155 was reopened last night after the bridge was inspected. It's good to go.

    They shut down I-40 into Little Rock, because water was flowing over it this afternoon,,,,,,,and this bridge will give me nightmares after I crossed over it a few hours ago,,,,

    Hey Gov, sure hope Wideload and Moe chipped in to buy your meal at that Country Kitchen you stopped at. That's the least they could do after you traveled out of your way about 230 miles and $100 for gas. He-He I enjoy those Country Kitchens also, GOOD eatin!! Have a safe and enjoyable trip.
