Road Trip!

Hey all!





We are planning a road trip and would love some suggestions.





Our trip currently has us going from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, through:



Savannah, Ga



Charollote, NC



Asheville, NC



Nashville, TN



Memphis, TN



Oxford, MS



Hot Springs, AR.





Are there any stops we are missing along the way? Any detours we should make? We love national parks, bike riding, hiking, live music, festivals, local food and drink, great restaurants, etc. and don%26#39;t want to miss the good stuff along the way. Any suggestions of places to camp our airstream (nice rv parks, county parks, or state parks) would be fantastic!!





Any specific Hot Springs info? We%26#39;ve never been and have heard great things.





Any advice is appreciated!!



Thanks:)

Road Trip!


CHARLESTON, SC!!!! Beautiful historic district (which is basically all of downtown. Lovely beaches, plantations, farmers market.





May I ask if you%26#39;ve been to Charlotte before?



Road Trip!


Eureka Springs is an awesome little resort town about 5 hours north of hot springs, hit that area if you have a chance.




We just arrived back from a trip to Crater Diamond State Park. Which I might add was a beautiful park to stay in. We did not find a diamond, but memories that will last a life time.



On our way back home we drove thru Hot Springs. We drove a 31%26#39; RV. Check your trip guides, we found that we were not able to take the RV in most places. They have a 30%26#39; limit because of the switchbacks. All so, we found only one place were we could park the RV on Central Street. We only planned on staying for a few hours; well it was more like 5-6 hours. Remember to bring empty jugs to fill with the hot spring water. The one public parking for RV%26#39;s (which is not marked, right next to the Visitor Center) is right in front of a public water area. It was great, no carrying the water around. The Visitor Center has a Vacation Guide that has some great coupons too. The parking area for RV%26#39;s and Buses was easy to pull in and out of too. We found that only 2 of the Bath houses was open, one is a museum (Fordyce Bathhouse) and no cost to enter, I might add a must see. The Buckstaff House you can pay for a bath. We now wish that we had done this. We did not take the Duck Tours, but now wonder if we should have to see more in the little time we had. When you drive into Hot Springs you may think you are in the wrong location for only about 3-5 blocks are for the tourist, you will know when you are in the correct location for the drastic change in your surroundings.



Have a great Time !
