Today we drove 515 miles from Arkansas through Oklahoma into Texas ending up at Palo Duro Canyon State Park, which after the Grand Canyon is the biggest canyon in the USA. We thought we had to charge three times but only ended up having to charge twice. The first charger sucked as it was only […]
It had cooled down in the night, well it’s all relative, it wasn’t as hot when we woke up as it was cloudy! Bill went off first thing to ride the ‘The Back 40 Loop’ implying there’s 40 miles of trails back there. When all was said and done he’d biked 28 miles, including ledges
Having been woken up at 4:30am with the thunderstorm we slept a little later and had a chill morning. Scrambled eggs for breakfast before going off biking for the day. We started by going by the pump track, fun for Bill, fun for me to watch! We found different trails, blue and black harder ones
We drove from Forrest City, AR to Bentonville, AR today. You may ask what’s in Bentonville that we stopped here and the answer is mountain biking of course!!

Bill went for a ride after breakfast, I relaxed and read and took a walk around the campground, noticing peoples very elaborate tarps over their tents, thinking when it rains it really must rain! I was able to look up the weather this morning with the bit of wifi that we had and saw that
We have made it to Asheville, NC! Internet connectivity is spotty so you will just have to wait for when we get to Nashville, TN for proper updates.. :-). Peace! Ok, So it’s now Day Eight, We had a scheduled Fast Charge in Statesville. NC but the charger was only outputting 43Kwh which was painfull!
The first video on the left is really for those curious about how to deal with an EV when you can’t easily get power. 🙂 I made a special trip 17 minutes away to find a faster charger then the 110 volt I was getting at my friend Scott’s house. We had a chill day
