June 4, Wed.
We overnighted at Springhill Park in Barling, AR. The park is part of the Army Corp of Engineers Lock and Dam project on the Arkansas River at Ft. Smith. There are lots of Canada geese everywhere, with a number of good-sized goslings. The sign says don’t feed the geese – too bad they’re protected or they could feed us! Ft. Smith is full of historical importance and we wish we could stay to soak it all up. But we’ve got repairs to make. Our engine AC compressor has been making funny noises for thousands of miles, reaching crisis stage on Sunday in Flagstaff, where it started screaming at us. No one could properly diagnose it until Albuquerque. We could not get it replaced there, so we called ahead to Greg’s Too in Ft. Smith and pre-ordered the needed parts. Greg’s guys had us back on the road at 2pm. It was over 90 degrees today, and we had to run both the house and engine air conditioners to stay comfortable. Our longhaired dogs don’t want to be traveling through the south in summer without AC.
