my trip to Eureka Springs

I wanted to report back on my trip to Eureka Springs. We had a great time and enjoyed every minute of our trip. We stayed at the Basin Park Hotel and our stay there was wonderful. I know from the reviews of the hotel that some people thought it was old, we didn%26#39;t. It is a historical and charming hotel. Just be careful and don%26#39;t park under the trees in there parking lot, we had some black stuff fall from the trees and it does not come off. It does look like it is fading though. We went horseback riding which my daughters loved, and drove along Hwy 23 and went and saw the damn. We were going to ride a tram at one of the lakes but it was raining that day so we just rode around and enjoyed the sites. The two restaurants that we loved was Sparky%26#39;s and a little italian restaurant on Main Street that I can%26#39;t remember the name of. The people there always gave us good recommendations on where to eat. I will be glad to answer any questions.

I%26#39;m so glad your trip went well. I knew going to eureka sprigs would be worth the drive..I guess you didn%26#39;t make it to hot springs. Glad the hotel was good for you as well... So I guess you enjoyed Arkansas...Make sure to come back... I am planning a tip to gulf shores this weekend, but here comes ernesto...I am hoping for the coas tsake that it does not turn into a bad hurricane...

I sympathize with you on the black spots. We were in Williamsburg, VA a few years ago and parked a white car under trees for four days. The little black spots required a lot of elbow grease to remove. I%26#39;m curious what route you took to get to Eureka? What is your opinion about Arkansas%26#39; roads?

Thanks for the report back on the Basin Park and Eureka. It is encouraging that they have kept this landmark up and that we can pass along your recommendation with confidence.

Fordarama, you will want to keep an eye on Ernesto, all the projected paths are taking it up through Alabama. We definitely do not need another Hurricane, the entire Gulf Coast still has not recovered. My city is still not back to normal from Hurricane Rita.

Going to Eureka Springs, we took Hwy 40 to Hwy 23, I think that was the highway. That was an experience, the road had some sharp turns going up the mountain. We came back on Hwy 65 which was a lot better.

The views of the area are really something... I think ernesto is turning to florida, and will be gone by friday morning ....crossing fingers....

Glad you enjoyed your trip, Red! I will be making notes of what you said for when we head up that way. I know we want to spend a day or 2 in Eureka Springs. I%26#39;m sure you guys are watching Ernesto like we are down here in Lafayette - that is all we DON%26#39;T need! They said it could strengthen back up once it hits that warm water in the Carribean - I hope it keeps turned away from Louisiana. I hate it for anyone in it%26#39;s path, but we just can%26#39;t handle another one.
