Hey guys, Cruising down to Little Rock for a week or so, any good food/ car things i should check out? Haven't much of a plan other then to get there and back safe so I'm pretty open to ideas and figure this would be the place to find out whats out there So far all thats on my list is making sure to stop in Conway and check out that *****in dentist office thanx guys timm
spent a lot of time in arkansas, got a cousin that manages the Kroger store in conway. at christmas I went through Marked tree, Carway, Lepanto (there is a house that was used in a movie there), dyess (thats where johnny cash grew up), there ain't nothing there but delta sand and cotton fields.
Visit Mt Magazine State Park and eat in the lodge. Go to Petti Jean and see the car museum. Both trips aren't too bad out of Little Rock.
im headed to omaha tonight and ill leave there and drive all the way threw tomorrow hopefully early afternoon. we're staying on the north side of the city. thanks for all the suggestions so far been there a handful of times but i've kinda run out of things to keep my self occupied haha
Make a trip across Mena Mountain, beautiful place. I make a motorcycle trip there every couple years, great get away. Entertain yourself with a strip club, you will be baffled.
Canoe trip! Dueling banjos, and the catfish farms and BBQ, baby! One of the top BBQ joint's is near Little Rock. I have to look it up, to give ya the low down. Stay a-way from jungle town. Been there, done that. http://www.mcclards.com/
Pe*** Jean State Park is beautiful this time of year. Also atop the mountain is the Auto Museum, and the Rockefeller Ranch. MOTAA also holds a rather large swap meet there in early June. Hot Springs National Park is a fun place to visit. See a little bit of New York City right there in Arkansa, enjoy a bath in the hot spring water, tour the old bath houses. The Mountain Home area is famous for its friendly people, great fishing and water sports and the annual Bucket Bash hot rod event for T-buckets.
Who was the S.O.B. that designed those exits off the interstate right into oncoming access road traffic? HellRaiser
**** no kidding hellraiser first time I experanced that non since was about 4 am after driving all night. Pulled over and let some one else drive
Glanced in Pete and James window on my way threw and plan to stop on the way home when they're actually open, might hit a sonic cruise in tonight and then the dentist of hambers on the way home. Seems enough to keep me occupied for now

Hey I have family in Arkansas, in fact my parents met at a family reunion there. Whilst in Arkansas visit a Waffle House at two o'clock in the morning .... I swear you will see Elvis!
Just kidding. Depends on where you are going in Arkansas. There is some scenic roads to drive and some neat little towns to visit.
Back again till' Thursday morning. Anything going on? We are in Jacksonville. Last trip I hit Dr.Dave's place in Conway but missed the man himself. Might take a drive up the mountain to see the car museum this time? I've got exactly zero plans other then drive to Witchita Thursday.
Museum and Pe*** Jean in general is ALWAYS a pleasant trip. That's usually my youngun and my weekend hang-out.... Unfortunantly, you are here when we are being cooked to a crisp at over 100 degree temps... I don't know of any local car events going on, sorry. BTW, if you see the old black Chevy that's in my avatar, wave at me....I work in Little Rock and live near Pe*** Jean, so it's common to see it in either place....
Typically we would be cutting threw and up to KC but since we are headed to Witchita we are headed threw Tulsa and the 97 toll roads
