I left oxford around 9am and headed for the delta. Turns out the delta is exactly how it’s always been, flat and hot. I pinned the bike and tried to make it towards Arkansas as quickly as possible. The trail took me on heavily graveled roads that slowed me down dramatically. I went through Crenshaw and then just north of Moon Lake towards Helena. I finally crossed the bridge around 11am. 
I rode for about 45 minutes until I can to Trenton, AR. There is an old store there that is a TAT destination. An old man runs the store and has everyone stop, sign in, and grab a picture. It was cool to be able to see who all was ahead of me. Apparently, I’ve been trailing two German guys on BMW’s for about a day. 
I stayed for about 10 minutes to talk about who has been through this summer and then headed out. I hit a few mountain roads (one somewhat creek crossing) but mostly straight gravel roads and pavement. placeholder:// I landed in Clinton, Ar around 6pm to call it a night. Pretty relieved to be out of the Mississippi and Arkansas delta.
