May 4

Ruth dropped us off in downtown Kirby this morning and we headed for Salem and Glenwood. We walked through Salem which is just a crossroads and not much more.

 

As we approached Glenwood, we saw a man in a beekeepers outfit checking the honeycombs in the beehives that he had. I guess he was seeing if there was enough honey to harvest.

 

On we walked pasted a herd of goats. They looked content and probably give good milk. This must be animal day because the next thing we saw was a llama. He/she came charging at us and luckily there was a fence between the llama and John and I.

 

We crossed over the Caddo River and it was up and murky from the recent rains. Carol and I have taken out here on many a float trip down the Caddo. Caught a few fish too.

 

On we walked through Glenwood and beyond, but not before we stopped at a Shell station for an ice cream sandwich.

 

Ruth and Carol picked us up after 11 miles. We found a penny and our first Arkansas license plate. Stay tuned .....
