October 14, 2013 Little Rock, Arkansas

One of our hopes is that we can visit as many Presidential libraries as possible on our journeys around the country.  Our next stop was a short two day stay in Little Rock with the purpose of seeing the Clinton Presidential Library.  We did not want to stay right in Little Rock so we had a little trouble finding a campground outside the city, but one not too far away.  After finding the first campground not acceptable, we settled on a small private campground in Conway.  We set up camp and settled in for the night.  Imagine our surprise when later in the evening we discovered quite by accident that the Clinton library is closed due to the federal shutdown.  Foiled by the government mess again!  Because the library is a national archive, they are closed.  Not seeing the St Louis Gateway Arch and Lewis and Clark Expedition museum was disappointing.  This was just plain annoying!

Since our full day in LIttle Rock was one of a steady rain, we used the day to catch up on paperwork and chores around the RV.
