Thursday, June 21, 1951
Route: Ala 5 to Tuscumbia, US 72 to Memphis, Tenn,
US 70 via Little Rock to Hot Springs & 220 to Mt Ida
for the night — a total of 408 miles for the day. No
collecting for today. Stopped, however, at Warm Springs for
advices from the Ouchita Forest Headquarters & secured a
map of the areas — also visited the hot springs & found
them rather unimpressive. Hydrangea & other flowers seen in
much the same stage of flower as in Alabama so there
is a good chance that at least some azaleas should
show up tomorrow. A very hot day for driving but
cooling somewhat tonight.
