Gary and I and Tim and Bonnie Endacott left on Friday, August 29th to head to Alabama to watch the Arkansas Razorback Hogs play Auburn on Saturday. We spent Friday and Saturday night in Opelika, only about 10 miles or less from Auburn. It was a good 10 hour drive but took us longer because we did stop to eat.
Friday night we found a nice Mexican restaurant close to the hotel. Saturday night we ate at Longhorn Steakhouse. On Sunday at lunch we stopped at Memphis at Corky's Barbeque and while there the assistant manager came to visit with us. His son plays for the Razorbacks and he was at the game also. Then, the manager also came by our table. There were several Hog fans in the restaurant.
We left the hotel at 10:00 am Saturday morning. We found a nice place to park (parking deck close to stadium $30). After parking we walked a couple of blocks to Price's Barbeque House on recommendation from John. It was wonderful! Of course, lots of Auburn people but we did run into a few Razorback fans that we knew.

William is the one looking down. He has a white sun visor on. Beth is in a red top and looking at her phone. This game could easily have been called "The Heat Bowl." I have never been so hot. In fact, I had to spend most of my time down in the shaded corridor drinking water. Gosh, it was hot!
The Razorbacks take the field.

We left at 6:00 am Sunday for home and we were in Springdale around 5:30 pm. Not bad considering we stopped in Memphis. We had a wonderful time with Tim and Bonnie! Hope to do it again!
