wind, hills, car problems, snake, fishing, and smores

Wind- It was definitely tough today. We had the wind in our faces about half the time and blowing across us the other half of the time.

Hills- We were going up and down hills just about the entire time...talk about some tired muscles!

Car problems- Dr. Patterson's car died twice today.  We finally decided that it was the alternator and got it fixed at a local mechanic's garage in Mt. Vernon. Thanks be to God that it went out today on an easy day rather than earlier in the trip!

Snake- Today Reba and I experience yet another snake experience.  It was a small grey one on the road as we were walking back to our cabins tonight.  After an almost meltdown from her, I finally dragged her past it on the other side of the road ;)

Fishing- There are a number of lakes here at Double S Ranch where we are staying and JT wasted no time in throwing out a line and fishing.  Soon the rest of the boys joined him and they caught a number of fish- including a catfish.  Pictures to come!

Smores- We are wrapping up the night by roasting smores.  Eating marshmallows, Hershey bars, and graham crackers while sitting in lawn chairs out on the dock over the edge of the lake at sunset...nothing gets better than this!

Well y'all...one more day! We will reach Texarkana tomorrow! More to come then....
