So left Meenman.......it rained all day yesterday and my tent had a puddle in it when i got back to it.!!  What is it with that tent, i do not know.  Got a new fly for it and the fly was dripping!!??  A real mystery.  I think I will have to put my under ground sheet over......see if that works.  I almost slept in the park washroom but put my foot down and said No! That would unacceptable, although I think I was the only person in the park and the smell was not bad at all.......but still gross.  I went back to my tent and wiped it up as good as I could and the rain lightened up.  The drips stopped for the most part and I got a good nights sleep....10 hours in fact.  Woke up to rain and that makes it hard to get up. 
 Stopped in to get a coffee before I left Memphis and had a chat with some of the locals....store keeper and sheriff i believe.  The sheriff was the 3rd guy to tell me that i needed a gun while traveling through these parts........Turns out the mcdonalds I was at yesterday is the roughest part of town......felt alright to me but it is hard not to let this fear that people have inside.  I know there is truth to it but it is mostly there own macho crap that they are experiencing.  Still finding this fear has rubbed off and is limiting my ability to experience.   Oh well, work with it is all i can do.  Tomorrow I am staying at some folks place in Fort Smith.  Kinda wanting to venture further south........choices choices choices.  :)
