Opus 2025-241: One the Road: Off-Ramps

I am currently on the road.  It is a big, beautiful country.  The occasion is a serious illness in the family which resulted in the death of my brother.  It was not a shock that it happened but he went down hill faster than we expected.  

Traveling through Arkansas is full of double-takes.  One of the off-ramp’s had the name Gum Springs.  I assume it is the name of a town or at least a wide spot in the road.  I wonder about the history of that place.  Do you think they have a local brand of bottled water?

I was not curious enough to exit and find out.

  1. My guess on that one is they have a lot of Sweet Gum trees but being slow talking Southerners it got shortened. Julia

    1. I must confess that makes sense. See how much you can learn driving across the country.

      Grace and peace
