Did you know that 48% of all rice in the US is grown in eastern Arkansas.  I was surprised.

We went to a Corp of Engineers lake named Greers Ferry Lake.  It reminded me a lot of Raystown.  Beautiful area.  Too bad it is in a dry county.  And butch had 3 beers.  They said try the next county…oh 40 miles or so. 

Greers Ferry is about 30 miles from Batesville Arkansas.  As in home of Mark Martin and his museum, in the middle of freakin nowhere.  The Ford man was so happy.

This bench sat outside the dealership.  Fortunately, they'd bolted it to the concrete, otherwise we'd be figuring out how to strap it to the roof of the motorhome.

 

 



 

We went by the dirt track where he'd started his racing. 

 

 

But even though it’s in a different county, it was still a dry county.  Butch resorted to drinking wine.  Lmao!
