Got to the Indiana Covered bridge festival, which was more like a smattering of mini fairs spread out among 14 different towns in Clay County. We picked up the leather goods from Sam in Mansfield, and then headed to Bridgeton to set up for Friday. We got a spot and just barely broke even.
Saturday I gave myself Positive and Negative polarity tattoos between my heels and ankles with a homemade tattoo needle. Packed up Sunday night and spent the night at the Pilot truck stop in Brazil, IN.
Yesterday we got going late morning, after mom called me to tell me I had to get rid of my cats. We crossed into the central time zone, and made it to the southern tip of Illinois before we blew a tire. After waiting on the side of the road for 3-4 hours, depending on what time zone you consider, we were finally saved by a cop and a road service co, because AAA was down and the spare tire wouldn’t drop. We crossed the Mississippi River blasting Black Water by the Doobie Bros. and into Missouri where we stayed the night at a Flying J.
This morning we got going around 10 am central time and made it into Arkansas, the Natural State. Things are definitely different down here. There are cotton fields and irrigation systems, and fires on the side of the road where truckers and the like have tossed their cigarette butts carelessly onto the flammable grasses of the highway. The patchwork hooligans just stopped in West Memphis, which is kind of like Memphis, but not at all. It’s in Arkansas, right next to TN, but I got some Coronas, stamps, and envelopes at the Wal-Mart. We’re headed to the Hot Springs near Little Rock to bathe in the glorious natural hot tubs for we are dirty, dirty scoundrels. Todd’s parents are going to meet us there and we’ll be heading to Texas with them for the next fair. They’re in West Virginia now, where apparently it’s snowing. After Texas, we’ll all be heading to either Tallahassee, FL, or Myrtle Beach, SC.
Tuesday 10/23/06 . . . Again
Hot Springs, AK, YOU ARE LIVING A LIE! So we go to hot springs national park in Arkansas to go swimming in the natural hot springs. We get there and after a short woodland trail that is slowed down due to construction, we enter a half abandoned town called Hot Springs. Apparently the town itself is Hot Springs National Park, and there aren’t any hot springs at all. Instead, there are two bath houses in the center of the run down town that you can put your feet in that are kind of warm. Of course on the whole way back there are signs fucking everywhere advertising these hot springs that don’t exist!
