Good names in Little Rock, AR.  We passed Toad Suck Park and Wiggle Worm Road.

We are staying at Darrell and Juanita Brannon RV Park.  I would probably report more generously if there were a little less mud.  Because of the airshow called Thunder over the Rock, we had a hard time getting reservations anywhere, so we ended up at this little park in Conway.  The lady who checked us in was the friendliest and most accommodating we have ever met.  She even helped Gary connect the electricity and water.

Today we explored the Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden along the Arkansas River.  Amazingly, one of the sculptures we saw was by Peter Wolf Toth.  When we were in Astoria, OR this summer we saw one of his Native American sculptures so we recognized this one right away.  He did these all over the country.

Other sculptures we enjoyed are below.

We walked around downtown Little Rock for a bit.  We met an old fashioned shoeshine man who tried to talk us into a shine.  I have to admit, our shoes were pretty grubby but we knew we were going back to the muddy RV park.

We had dinner at the Almost Famous Smokehouse and Grill which features Cajun food and BBQ.  Gary had the shrimp and really enjoyed them.  I had pulled pork and baked potato salad which tasted just like its name and was made with sour cream.
