After we passed through Little Rock, Arkansas, we hit some thick traffic on the highway. Maybe our car had a secret button that turned our car invisible. Maybe I accidentally hit it. Maybe the lady in the white car was talking on her phone and didn't look over her shoulder during her lane change. Whatever the case was, she ran us off the road. Becki was driving, and she tried to compensate. Unfortunately, our car spun out of control and skidded through 3 lanes of traffic. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt...except the TDI. We totaled the car and the cause of the accident left the scene, so we were stranded in not-so-scenic Conway, Arkansas. The police officer was great, and she helped us with everything. We needed to stay the night and wait for our new rental ride with enough room for P-Dog. We weren't allowed to smoke in the rental, but Pig sneaked in a rawhide "stoogie."
The trailhead to the highpoint. It was a sunny, crisp day. Perfect for highpointing!
After hitting the summit, we were on to Springfield, Missouri (my hometown). Since we had out tearful good by with the TDI and it was going to be $400 to rent a car to get back to Columbus, we bought a used Civic to drive home. Just to clarify, I drove the entire way because Becki can't drive a stick. (Becki's note: I can drive a stick, I just choose not to.)
