If anyone needs a place to stay, come to our Ramada Limited in Branson, you'll get a 15% discount if you're on this board. Branson is about an hour and 25 minutes away from Eureka Springs. We have jacuzzi rooms if you want one.

Let me know.

We moved here from South Alabama (gulf coast) in 1996. Although I miss the open water of the gulf where I spent my youth, Arkansas is a very beautiful state.

The only thing that would make this event better was if the leaves were already turning.

Yeah, had some good memories there in Eureka Springs and loved the area. I heard about the Corvette things there even though I was there in a rental car at the time as my '99 was way out here. I can picture the trees changing there. I'm considering a major move for next year to retire and possibly build a home there. I was born out here in S. Calif., but I'm done with this place. Done my time, earned my pension and can't wait to get out of here.

Come on out. I live a short 2 hour drive south of Eureka Springs. Let me know when you are coming and I'll come up (my wife and I enjoy spending weekends there) and have a beer and dinner.
