Our Day Ends in Hope...Hope, Arkansas that is



Heading north of Corpus Christi...the oil refineries share the landscape with the granaries. The fields stretch as far as the eye can see.  Silhouettes of cows along the way.... break up the monotony. I don't know what a person would do for entertainment out here in the middle of no where. Probably the same thoughts of some people that wonder what we do in the back bluffs of Tomah,Wisconsin :-)
Houston....we have a problem.  Not specifically with Houston; but the whole state of Texas!  The logistics of their interstate system is very different than Wisconsin's.  They have loops around the bigger towns, which is a good idea; but are a challenge to follow.  In Wisconsin where you have an off- ramp you usually have an on-ramp shortly afterwards.  Not here...it could be miles down the road.  Confusion is one reason we're heading to
Arkansas instead of Louisiana!
They say..."Don't Mess With Texas,"  I say... "Texas has a Mess" when it comes to deciphering their road system.  I guess it's something a Northerner just has to get use to like...
biscuits and gravy. 
A picture that does not do it justice. 
 The Astro Stadium.
Visited Bill Clinton's birthplace home...
...just kidding!  We did visit and spend the night in his home town of
 "Hope," Arkansas.
Onto Missouri tomorrow.
