Day 6 - Memphis, Tennessee to Hot Springs, Arkansas

I guess you could call today a day of accidents. Thankfully, they surrounded us but nothing directly affected us. On the way to Hot Springs we passed a very unusual accident in which a tractor trailer (with 2 trailers) veered off into the woods and hit a tree. Here at our campsite, the neighboring camper had a branch fall and puncture the roof during high winds. Yesterday, when we were not here, our other neighbor had a branch fall and dent their truck. When the kids heard these stories they were asking me to move!
Today we passed the 1000 mile mark. To celebrate, I changed a tire on the travel trailer! It had a very unusual wear pattern. You can see from the picture the outside 1/4 of the tire wore down quickly but the edge is still intact and 3/4 of the tire is fine. I think there much be a tire defect or some suspension issue.The other 3 tires are just fine. I'll be monitoring the new tire very closely. Tomorrow we spend the day at Hot Springs National Park!
