Spirit was truly taking us by the hand to discover "clues" and little
treasures throughout the mission. We sincerely wished everyone could
experience a trip like this at least just once in their lives.
After some photo opportunities, Steve and I returned to the room since I had to buckle down in preparation for my interview. I had 2- 3 hours which wasn't a lot considering these sorts of interviews usually required 3 days of preparation, but it would have to do. Steve took a nap while I was preparing and then left with the dogs while I prayed for a clear undisturbed wi-fi connection. It had been raining nonstop, but lo and behold it stopped while I was interviewing. Even then, the service in these small rural towns leaves much to be desired. I set up in the local MacDonald's restaurant, happy to sit in air conditioning and watch the children play with one another while I asked away the questions of the day...
Afterwards, I found Steve had returned from another side mission, as he was called into Mena, AR to clear some really nasty energies there. As many of you know, Clinton's Administration put this place on the map, well-known for becoming one of the drug depots of the world for cocaine and heroin. Apparently he could really feel the density and confinement of the area. Relieved that I could successfully upload my audio file finally, we took off with the 4 dogs and drove through some of the local neighborhoods to see what the older houses looked like. I also wanted to perform a thorough canvasing of each street in the surrounding area, as a piece of land was calling out to me.
