While stopped for lunch in Greenville, our step cover failed to retract giving us access to the exit steps. Bill climbed out over the step cover and discovered that a nut had come loose and disappeared so we headed into Arkansas seeking and finding a hardware store and repaired the step cover. Our right passender rear view mirror and been vibrating and Bill checked it our only to discover that it had broken its holding clips. Our side mirror has three sections and it was our middle one that was loose and is now attached with Gorilla Tape! After the two repairs were made Bill drove the coach around a building and yes, he failed to clear the corner and tore out about a six foot section of the roof side. This time the repair was duck tape and more Gorilla Tape and it doesn't look too bad and hopefully the tape will stay on and keep the water out until we get it repaired. This nice black guy helped toss us supplies and caught the broken pieces of fiberglass for the dumpster. He kept us smiling when we didn't feel too happy! Guess we entertained all the building residents and they all had to tour the coach. This will give them something to talk about in Lake Village, Arkansas this week!
After the repairs we headed on to Hot Springs, Arkansas and managed to stop and stay at the Elks Lodge. Fortunately for us they were having a chicken dinner and free drinks for first time visitors - we enjoyed both and after a good night's sleep tonight we will be off to explore Hot Springs tomorrow and perhaps a bath in the Springs and a needed message! :)
