Blogs from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States, North America

We got up and drove all day to get to San Antonio. We stopped off at Little Rock to eat the Purple Cow. The boys remembered the restaurant from several years ago and really wanted to visit the place again. It was just as good as we remembered it with purple milkshakes. Then we drove to Hot Springs, Arkansas to see the National Park there. The old majestic bath houses are preserved and open for tours. We continued our drive through Dallas and Austin then ended up at San Antonio at 1:00 am.... read more

Wednesday, October 26, 2016 found me taking a leisurely, uneventful drive from Lead Hill Campground, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers facility on Bull Shoals Lake near Harrison AR, to Maumelle Campground, part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation area at Murray Lock and Dam on the Arkansas River near Little Rock AR. A major portion of my agenda included taking a few scenic drives to (hopefully) see some of the Ozarks fall foliage in peak splendor. Unfortunately, I was a little early for the brilliant colors of fall; however, and fortunately, central Arkansas is replete with one of my “A-List” attractions – historic county courthouses – so incorporating those attractions into my quest for fall foliage made my journeys a 2-for-1 endeavor. Friday found me taking a clockwise journey over the Pinnacle Mountain-Greers ... read more

THE BASICS From OKC on to Tulsa, which has many beautiful homes but a wacky network of highways. The Woody Guthrie museum was a major highlight for me, touching many associated memories. We left a day before tornadoes struck there. Then, at last, we arrived in Arkansas, my last state to visit and John's 49th (he hasn't been to Hawaii). We spent three nights in Eureka Springs, in the northwest corner of the state, in the Ozarks. That town has the most amazing network of short steep streets I have ever seen. And now we are in Little Rock, which we can gaze at from our RV park in North Little Rock, on a bank a few feet from the wide Arkansas River. THE FLUFF Between OKC and Tulsa, we went through a small town which ... read more

Bonjour à tous, Je crains qu'aujourd'hui ce soit un petit blog. La journée a été très agréable pour moi mais pas forcément passionnante pour vous. J'aurais pu la sous titrée journée campagne. Également désolé, mais ce soir, je ne suis pas très riche en photos Aujourd'hui le thermomètre est à 30° à 8 h, et je viens de voir que dans la région, il allait faire jusqu'à 104 F 40°C, et il n'y a plus le vent, que j'avais depuis le sud du Texas. Petit tour de Fort Smith, il est très vite fait à part le National Cemetary (cimetière) rien d'autre. On pourrait penser que les photos de ville que je prends depuis quelques jours sont faites à des heures impossibles tant les villes sont désertes. A l'hôtel j'avais récupéré une brochure, de la région, ... read more

This was our destination after being on the road for 4 days through New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. We planned on 4 full days here which turned out to be just the right amount of time to relax and explore the city and surrounding area. We wanted to tour the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library and Museum. This is the second presidential library we have seen and they are very educational and help you remember how much a president has done in his term. The library is located on land overlooking the Arkansas River. Our r.v. park was just across the river so we could walk across the river on a pedestrian bridge. There is also a 15 mile bike and walking path next to the library and river that is so great to access. ... read more
