From Van Buren, Arkansas to Laurie, Missouri – 333.82 miles
Surprise, Surprise
We realized Wednesday, with the help of one of Arkansas’ finest, that we had no running lights on the truck. This morning we discovered the problem – a blown fuse that we missed in our first round of searching. We replaced it with the 4WD fuse in the truck that we don’t need since we don’t have a four wheel drive truck. Praise the Lord this fixed the problem and we were street legal again!
Our second surprise was the most awful, foul stench in the cab of the truck when we opened it this morning. It turns out that if you leave a thermos full of poor man’s mocha (coffee mixed with hot chocolate) in a truck for a few days, enough pressure will build up from the rancid liquid to blow the top off of the thermos and spew the contents all over the inside of the vehicle. Pretty gross!!!
Weather Watch
We found it fairly ironic that the only wintery weather we have seen was in the desert right when we left. All throughout Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri we have had nothing but blue skies and 60+ degree weather. What a blessing! We know we will not be strangers to cold, snowy weather, but it has been tremendous to have good weather for driving.
Home, Sweet Home
Well, almost. We are in a motel in Laurie, MO for the night. In the morning we will meet up with our PS133 friends in Versailles for a meeting of the church and then we will go on to actually see the property. Before we could get that far today the sun went down and we were forced to wait for tomorrow. We are very excited to be here and eagerly await what lies ahead.
***Note - This post is a little late in getting up and way out of date as far as what we are up to. More information will be coming as soon as we get a breather enough to type it all up for you. But, rest assured, we are safe and doing well and we miss all those who are not here with us.***
