Day 9 Bentonville, Ak – Lebanon, Mo<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consistency is proving to be important in our daily events. Yesterday it was the fire department showing up at our Oklahoma City motel following a Tornado strike to free guests stuck in the elevators when the power went out. Today it was the fire department arriving after the motel fire alarm went off at 5:30 am. The good news was that it was only a cooking fire caused by guest using the stove in their room .  I guess that can happen when you’re frying kale in bacon grease and pouring Velvetta over it.<\/p>\n

We said goodbye to Bensonville (galactic Hq. of Walmart) in a light rain and headed to Joplin, Mo to pick up route 66.<\/p>\n

Slipped through Joplin on 66 and continued to be amazed by the beauty of the landscape, rural farms and old Americana towns.<\/p>\n

\nTook the time to stop at Red Oak II<\/strong><\/a> outside of Carthage. It’s a town that has been relocated and restored. This is a must see if you’re ever in this neck of the woods.<\/p>\n

In a addition to the buildings that have been restored  there are a number of scrap metal and wood sculptures, old cars, a WWII Bomber and more.<\/p>\n
