Where is the largest ball of twine (Griswold reference)?...

Also, did you happen to see these people near there?

I didn't know you were going to be there, too? Are you the tall one?

Yeah, it was JUST like that! LOL.

We even joked about it

But it was a good time and place to take a break. Tried not to drive more than 4hrs without a stop and walk around for everyone.

In Casey, we even had milkshakes and up the stairs into the giant mailbox

Interesting factoid: Arkansas produces 75% of the USA's RICE. You can see the flooded fields as you drive north through the state.

It looks like someone was measuring in feet instead of inches...

Great pictures though, cool to see other parts of the country.

ethan, on another note. When we were messing with your fuel pressure problem last year. How high did it go? 75-80 psi?

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-issues-3.html Here we go, instead of me trying to say everything again I will just provide the original account. Looks like John's issue was even brought up at the time as well. Pages 4 and 5 are where it really gets down to the good stuff but the first three pages aren't bad either.

My first reaction when I read this was, "No, California produces more rice than any other US state." So I googled it and learned that to my surprise Arkansas does indeed produce more rice per year than California. But it's nowhere near 75%.

ExPACamper, check that fuel check valve assembly and make sure the windows are lining up when the assembly is pushed down. I keep forgetting about this - I gutted them in my 7.3L's so I keep forgetting about this.
