Arrived safely in Little Rock

We came out Sunday rather than the planned Monday departure.

Today the skies were extremely clear and visibility was more than forty miles.

Headwinds were a different story! Sixty on the nose for part of the trip. Ground speeds as low as 115 even  though we were flying thru the air at 185-190 mph burning about 13 gallons per hour avgas.
So, the normal 2:15 trip took 2:55.  Even so, what mode of transport would get us here more conveniently and quickly? None I know of!

Arriving Sunday instead of Monday presented another issue: Our rental car was not available today. An friendly off-duty fireman, Adam,  brought us to the Markham House where we checked in and got a short nap.

It sure reduces Vern's stress level when I have gotten Deb here safely and comfortably.
