Arkansas Travel Blogs

Last night as I finished my blog and tucked it away on-line and went to bed I thought my day was over. But at least an hour later we got a phone call from our second son from Sparks, Nevada. "Do you guys know where you are?" he shouted excitedly into the phone. Judy was puzzled and so was I. "Thatâ…

After a long cold winter in NYC, I began to realize that I may be suffering from a touch of cabin fever.  Usually by April I am done with the cold weather.  This year was no exception.  After taking a hiatus, I decided that the 50 State Project couldn’t be ignored anymore.  I …

This weekend finds me back in Searcy, AR for another great Campus Ministry United Conference. I really enjoy going to this conference because it is a way to reconnect with friends from far away and to connect with new friends, even further away. This year was no exception. I took Taylor, my intern,…

All of our Arkansas road trip adventures begin in Jonesboro until we return to our first home . . . Wisconsin.  But until then, here we are.

Not even half an hour outside of OKC, I have another run-in with Johnny Law.  Well, this guy was more like Cletus-law, and boy howdy!  He sure was a prick!  He pulled out of a tree-filled median and followed me for about 5 miles or so.  I saw a gas station at the next exit, so I…

First stop: The Buckstaff bathhouse is the only operational bathhouse within Hot Springs NP and has been in operation since 1912. It is privately owned but is strictly monitored by the National Park Service. This explains the amazing prices. I purchased the traditional bathing package which includ…

My hubby and I hit the road early in the morning to head to Branson for our fifth anniversary.

Well I headed back to Arkansas with a friend and wanted to show her Booger Hollow.  She has heard me talk all about it and now she can finally see it.  Maybe she will become a future TravBuddy.  :)

(J) There are mangroves in Arkansas--no pictures if asked to hand over evidence of said obviously random fact. Apparently 75 mph and a cement rail with tree cover doesn't lend for picture taking. Who knew? Personally, I was hoping for have a monument erected as a replica of my picture. It will …

Are you in the process of planning an RV trip?  If you are and if this is your first time doing so, you may be looking for some guidance.  After all, traveling by RV for the first time can be fun and exciting, but it can also be worrisome at the same time.  For that reason, five help…

I check into the Comfort Suites Hotel in Jonesboro after a very long day of travel delays.  The woman at the front desk checked me in and said "Let me show you to your room."  To which I asked why and she told me their door key machine was broken and that she would have to let m…

The Healing Waters of Eureka Springs If you’re driving along route 62 through Northwest Arkansas and don’t venture off the main highway, you will only catch half of Eureka Springs. Depending on one’s bent, it’s the best half or the worst half. Along the highway, the businesses seem to cat…
