The only way to unlock it then, is from inside the vehicle, or with the help of a locksmith. We learned – the hard way – that the security system becomes confused when the car is locked and there is a key fob inside. We held the key fob in our hands, but the car would not unlock because the other key fob was inside the vehicle. Before we could place it in auxiliary mode, which is essential for safe towing, we discovered we were locked out. As we were leaving camp, we attached our tow car and were preparing it for travel.We loved seeing the different style of houses in this part of the country and really enjoyed our time here.After reading the exhibits about the desegregation crisis at the library, it was humbling to now stand in front of the building and imagine the courage of the “Little Rock Nine” who stood their ground and did not let racism and bullying win. Finally, we drove to the Central High School campus, which was the site of the desegregation crisis of the 1950s. After the library, we took a brief self-guided tour of the state capitol building which was palatial and impressive. The grounds around it were beautiful and we caught some of our best views of Little Rock from the presidential bridge. The library was very well done and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nonetheless, it was fun to meet someone in the same boat as us who absolutely “gets” why we are doing this. Sadly we were there for just a short time so we only met briefly as we were getting ready to hit the road that morning. We discovered that we were not only at the same campground as one of our connections Ryan of but were parked right next to each other! Because we came in after dark, we hadn’t seen our neighbors or we would have recognized his rig. ![]() We have connected with many people in the fulltime RV community (yes, there is a rather large community of us out there!) on social media.Jon worked on planning for the rest of our journey to Maine, and Cathy and the cats enjoyed a 4 hour nap. We planned to play tourist in nearby Dallas, but we were tired and had a lot to do, so instead stayed in.After our previous wrong turn and subsequent run in with an angry and aggressive man, this was such a refreshing experience and reminded us that human kindness still exists in our country. A kind man, who was in his front yard when we turned on his street, guided Jon down the entire street in reverse, straightened the tow dolly whenever it turned, and then jumped in his car and led us through the dark town to the campground to make sure we found it okay. ![]() It was dark and we took a wrong turn on a rather sketchy looking dead end street.
