Six hours into the 922 mile journey to Elk City, and we've just crossed into Arkansas. We were fortunate to avoid any real traffic in both Nashville and Memphis. Driving through Memphis on I40 at night is a surreal experience. You don't even see downtown until you're practically through it. Our next landmark is Little Rock, two hours away. At this rate we'll reach James and Karen's house by 10am tomorrow. Or would that be later today?
The moon has shrunk down to a sliver of a thumbnail, so the night is pitch black beyond the shoulder of the road. Its an ominous reminder of how important it will be to make it to the hotel on time each night of the trip.
