Roy already on it brings up google maps and searches for taco places in the area. :D

Roy and Lionel are happy to see that there is indeed a taco truck nearby and within easy walking distance. They pass north and see the Bass Reeves statue nearby before you both find the crosswalk to the Park on West End. There is quite a lot here, you can see the river of course, and the big bridge crossing over into Oklahoma. There is an old railcar that has been converted into a diner. A large Ferris wheel, a mary go round and numerous statues of animals like zebras, rhinos, a pair of near lifesize giraffes, and most notably the huge mural of an Indian woman firing an arrow that takes up the entire side of the building. As you look around you are able to quickly see the taco truck, right about the time you can smell it too!

Roy heads to the taco truck almost like a child rushing to the ice cream truck. Looking over the menu his stomach growls.

He shifts to drafting a group text to introduce himself to other members of the staff and accidentally sends them a link to the article with no message attached.

Roy checks his phone and wonders who is this? Sending this very message back to the send via text. Then goes back to ordering his food.

Sam recognizes his mistake with the return message and drafts a response that says This is Sam Strickland - but just call me Sam. Pleasure to know you! I am joining your organization and have been reviewing the photographs from the cemetery. Very interesting headstones and inscriptions I see here Sam adjusts his readers before continuing, Does anyone know anything about the Anniversary Garden Rose Society? Sam also includes a travel picture of himself in a greenhouse surrounded by rare plants.

Roy replies to the text/email "Greetings Sam, this is Roy glad to have you on board. Gotta go trying to order lunch. Me and Lionel are at the taco food truck."

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Lionel orders several tacos and a bottle of water. There is nothing I understood in that article. If it's important, someone'll have to explain it.
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

The tacos are good and only set you back a few dollars each. This seems to be a lunchtime hot spot. There is an almost carnival atmosphere as all the down town folks take their lunch breaks here. It is busy by Fort Smith standards, but offers an open area with a nice view of the river.

Actions?

Roy shrugs as well "Yeah I didn't really understand a lot of it myself Lionel. I'll probably have to do some research to better understand it or ask Joker. So what now should we go see how the others are doing at the cemetary?"
