With the Ian's tag teaming the driving during the day on day 2, we arrived in Little Rock, Arkansas in the evening where we stayed at a motel 6 for some much deserved z's. We arrived officially the next morning on day 3. We went to 4 different county's where the subject of the documentary lived and went to school, DANGERfield, Avinger, Jefferson City and Mount Pleasant. The Ian's came up with a cool idea to film this which was to mount the camera on top of the truck and drive up, through and around each of the places. The footage looks amazing!
We headed to Lake Bob Sandlin State Park which is about 15 minutes away from Mount Pleasant to camp for the night. Me and Sarah forged some food (went to a HUGE walmart) and the Ian's set up shelter. We had awesome steaks for dinner. We all got up when it was still dark to set up an epic sunrise dolly shot which turned out amazing, the sun over the lake was incredible and after a hearty breakfest we were off to one more county, Ore, and then to Jamica Beach (near Glaveston).
The idea was to get some footage of the gulph of mexico but it was raining when we got there and things weren't looking good. Also, it was HOT and muggy. The bugs were insane since we were camping right on the beach. After forging for wood and setting up the tents, we all decided to go swimming and it was fantastic! The water was warm and the waves were huge! It was very refreshing, we then made some chili after we made a fire (not east with wet driftwood) and headed to bed.
I am writing this inside the truck with the window open and can hear the ocean, crashing away. Though we haven't filmed anything yet here, we hope too later on this morning, this place was still awesome and great stop on our trip! Also, SUPER windy last night, seriously, SUPER windy.
