Patti,
Arkansas used to be terrible, but I drove it from Memphis west to 
Little Rock and then south to Texarkana last year.  That portion has 
been repaved and is now a pleasure to drive.  (BTW, I'm a Denver 
native, but been FTing since '86).  I always love the scene going 
south over Raton Pass into NM.  The mesas popping up in the vast 
prairies.  And of course coming north, the first sight of the Sangre 
de Christos is awesome too.  But, I digress - - - I-40 should be no 
problem now.  Two years ago, I would have said to avoid Arkasas due 
to the really terrible road condition but if it is repaved west of 
L.R. as it is east of there, it is a nice drive.  And east of 
Memphis is no problem either.  Just watch the highway signs closely 
as you go through Memphis.  It can be confusing.  Have a good trip,
