Hello From Dallas
Just pulled in here on east side of Dallas for the night. Traffic has been heavy all afternoon. Little Rock was a nightmare. The governor should resign. 67 closed, both ways, just north of 440. Poorly marked detour through the neighborhood. Lots of very uspet people. At least an hour to get back on 440. All had to find a way around the mess. I can not believe they have just shut down a major hiway and nothing telling you where to go.67 is opened for another new stretch, north and east of Tuckerman. We tried it and the road was closed for high water. Had to make a square to get back to 67. You can not back a motorhome with a car on back.
Arkansas is flooded big time. Many home totally wasted. We could not believe it.
The glass engine cover saved us again. Teri saw a fire or something. I stopped, got out, nothing. Took off again and it came back. Stopped, it quit. Finally found it. A strand of wires had fallen and when I revved the engine the fan was hitting them and shorting out. Whew, glad Teri saw that. That is twice. First time was an oil blown line back in 07 climbing a mountain out west. We are glad we can see our engine compartment.
I am too tired to proof this. Hope it makes sense. Also too tired to post pictures. Lots of deer were out in the flooded areas looking for higher ground. I am sure Arkansas has made the national news with all the flooding.
Well, we will hit it again in the morning. I think we will stop over near Sweetwater for Saturday night. That will be a short day, I hope, 300 miles.
Sorry about no tracking system. Got tow systems in here and both kwit.

Wow, the two of you had a long difficult day. It must have seemed surreal as you traveled through the flooded areas of Arkansas. Your heart goes out to the people who were forced to leave their homes.
I'd love to see a picture of your engine compartment window. It sounds like a real life saver.
Hope the remainder of your trip goes well,
