Caruthersville, Missouri

We’re taking a different way back. Instead of Paducah, it’ll be via Dyersburg and Jackson. Mostly interstate. Might be a little longer, but its easier driving.
So we stopped at the Flying J in Matthews, MO. This place had everything – private rooms for making phone calls, a convienence store, a nice restaurant, and a barber’s shop. Pretty much blows my myth that truck stops are dirty dingy places. I got a slice of pizza to go.
We’ve seen catfish farms. Small holding lakes for catfish. They’re near the board with Tennessee near the Mississippi River. They have oxygenators or something that keep the water moving to keep things fresh so the fish won’t die. Don’t ask me who it works. I’m no fish scientist.
