Calico Rock, AR

Yesterday as we left Camelot RV Park traveling south on US67 the route turned from rolling wooded hills to the flat fertile farm lands of north east Arkansas. We saw a lot of flooded fields from the last week of rains. Turning west on US62 it was more of the flat farmland, we did see a few fields of rice and a few fields of corn that were up but for the most part it had not been planted yet or had just been planted before the rains started. The route turned back to hilly woods as we entered the Ozarks. Then we turned southwest on AR 56 traveling deeper into the Ozark mountains finally arriving in Calico Rock around 1 PM. after visiting a couple of Nancy's aunts we drove south on AR 9 to Jo-Jo's one of our favorite places to eat catfish. J0-J0's is located on the banks of the White River. They have some great hush puppies and serve pinto beans and sweet pickled green tomatoes with each catfish order. The two of us ate for less than $20 and had all we could eat. It has not rained for two days but sounds as if it will start again tonight.
