We left Paducah, Kentucky on Wednesday morning headed to Memphis, Tennessee and to Davis motor home mart to get some things installed and fixed on the rig. This is not our first trip to Memphis and to be candid, we are a little fed up with the minor things that need to be fixed on a brand-new rig. All Tiffin folks tells us to get used to it as this is how it is!

En route to Tennessee we learn about tropical storm Harvey which seems to be making a march on Texas and increasing in strength as it goes.

By Thursday morning, they believe Harvey will turn into a hurricane and by all reports be a pretty bad one. By 2 p.m. Mike has changed Chris’ flights and got him on a flight out of Memphis to Houston and then onto Lubbock the same day to ensure he can re-start school on Monday and not get stuck in Texas.

Mike and I are going to head 250 miles to Texarkana which sits on the border of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana where we can hunker down and see what happens with the impending storm.

Texarkana is a truck town where three states come together along with a number of major interstate roads. It is what I would call a “drive through” city and just to emphasize my thought that there is literally nothing here, according to Trip Advisor one of the things to do in Texarkana, is to visit the town’s first roundabout …! Really!!

Fortunately, we are staying in a RV park a little out-of-town which has great internet connectivity and we are using the time to catch up on our favourite TV shows and enjoy a little downtime!

Sitting it out in Texarkana!
