We made another early start for a long drive through the green hills of Arkansas to Mississippi. We followed the scenic back roads and found a local diner for breakfast. We even saw some longhorn cattle in a pasture. For lunch, we stopped for a picnic at the Arkansas Welcome Center that had a shady picnic table on a covered dock on the water. With the humidity, even 90 degrees felt like 100. We crossed over the mighty Mississippi River ad headed to Ackerman close to the Tombigbee National Forest where we are stayed at Cherokee Lake National Recreation Area.
