My grandparents moved to Mountain Home back in mid 1952. I was 11 years old when we as a family of 7 made that trip in a classic old car, a 2x4 stretched across the back seat so the five of us kids could see outside. My oh my what memories come to mind.👍❤️

If you ever return to Eureka Springs, try to visit the (supposedly haunted) historical Crescent Hotel & see the Christ of the Ozarks statue. The residential streets are packed with 100-year-old elegant "Painted Lady" Victorian homes.

@CaddyOnRoute 2 месяца назад

Well said. My thoughts exactly!

@kppb6844 2 месяца назад

The place does not feel right at all. Been there several times. When they found jars with human remains in them buried on the grounds at the Crescent Hotel, you know something is not right about the place. Not to mention it being used a place to cure cancer but no one was ever cured. People suffered, died and were being used as test subjects by a psycho doctor and his staff. All truth.

Hey Russ, got some AR info for you about this trip. Piggott, AR was the home of Ernest Hemingway & his 2nd wife, Pauline. Ernest wrote a part of "Farewell to Arms" while living there. There is the Hemingway-Pfeiffer House museum in Piggott. Also, in Eureka Springs, you missed going to the "haunted" Crescent Hotel. My wife & I went to Eureka Springs every Thanksgiving weekend for several years with our close friends. The funnel cake store you pointed out was our favorite place to rest & have a tasty funnel cake. This trip brought back memories of our time in AR. We retired 8 years ago & transplanted to Spokane, WA to be near our daughter & family. Thanks for sharing this trip!

Thanks Russ! My wife's Grandparents were born in Eureka Springs around 1890 and lived there until they married and moved to Western Oklahoma for his work in the oil fields. We have visited there on a few occasions. Stay safe and enjoy your trips!

The Crescent Hotel is awesome and there's a Catholic Church where you enter at the top of the steeple and walk down several stories to the ground floor with a beautiful gift shop in the church. You really missed out on several sites..maybe another time. Enjoy your videos! 💗

Eureka Springs is one of my favorite places in the Ozarks. You saw about half of the town. When you decided to make a loop, you could have continued going up to the top of the hill to the Crescent Hotel. The whole town is gorgeous. It is best to park and take the trolly all around town. Best way to see everything. Love your videos!

Some of this reminds me of when I was a little girl and my daddy;s best friend had a house boat on a lake in SC. I remember spending weekends there...me, my Ma and Pa, and Lane and Betty, my Godparents...I slept on a pull out sofa, and I remember the gentle rocking ofthe houseboat ...there was a window next to my sofa where I could see the stars...to this day, as a 59 year old woman, my dream is to experience that again...doesn't have to be a houseboat...but just camping😍

What a beautiful place Arkansas and Eureka Springs is! The same kind of crazy development took place at spa towns / health resorts in the UK and Europe back in the day, they built everything so tight together and never would have imagined the kind of traffic we have today.

In Hardy, the big leaf plant is called Elephant Ear. When I visited my Mom's family in the 1960's in New Orleans. They had Elephant Ear plants near the house. I used to listen to the rain when it hit the plant leaf. That was cool for me.

@gsp49 2 месяца назад

We had elephant ears everywhere growing up in south Georgia, I recall breaking a leaf off and using it for an umbrella.

@Desert_Bhajan 2 месяца назад

I've been living here in Eureka Springs for the better part of 40 years. I really got a kick out of your navigating the narrow streets here Russ, lol. Great stuff. Riding the Trolleys is my favorite means of transportation here. Parking is scarce. Loved your walk up behind downtown Basic Park. If I had my druthers, I'd rather be living in an RV somewhere around Quartzsite AZ, but I definitely can't complain about living here. Excellent video, best I've ever seen of Eureka Springs, by far. 👍

Lived in Rogers juat down the rd on 62 bout 30 miles, we used to ride the harleys over bout 2 weekends a month during the summers, lots goin on, and even in the winter if we wanted to get away for a weekend in a quit place,, again eureka springs was great as most tourist places were shut down but afew hotels/restaurants were open so quiet with no tourists in town 👍

@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee Месяц назад

Sitting in my chair with my dog on my lap and traveling through Arkansas with you. I also have my Google maps up and following along on the journey. One day, between all your actual journeys and the places you would have liked to stop, I would love a travel guide. I'm getting closer and closer to doing some road trips too. I've fantasized about moving from town to town and staying maybe a month at a time to really reach out and explore before moving to the next small town.

@danielstober6249 2 месяца назад

Hi Russ: The Note about the only US Highway connecting Canada to Mexico. US 62 is not the ONLY highway, it's the only US highway. There are still a couple of interstates (I-5 and I-35, for example), but those are Interstates, not US Highways. Of course, those interstates replaced other US Highways that originally connected Canada to Mexico. Interstate 5, for example, wiped out US 99, which connected Canada to Mexico back before 1964. Great video!

Ah, a virtual Sunday drive with Russ, back-roading and small-towning through "The Natural State"! The Swamp Fox - hey, I watched the Disney TV show growing up. I remember the theme song, "Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat..." sung by the star Leslie Nielsen 🙂 At 32:45 the Smokin' Ricks BBQ sign - I love walking the main drags of small towns and taking pictures of stuff like that. Until next time, happy trails!

@delisaseale5881 2 месяца назад

Just found your channel a few days ago when your travel show about Arkansas popped up on RU-vid feeds. I grew up in Southwest AR but my husband and I, along with our two children, lived near Pocahontas for 5 yrs in the early 90’s. We saw all the sites up that way. Eureka Springs and Hot Spring are popular places for Arkansans to visit. Eureka is famous for several of its haunted hotels and all the old buildings, including gorgeous old homes and all of its shops. Often Eureka Springs visits entail a trip up to Branson MO to go to the amusement park Silver Dollar City. You mentioned the houses on stilts. Good to see Pocahontas has made a come back. They had a terrible flood this n 2017. There are often earthquake tremors over that way due to the New Madrid fault line. There was a 7.5 in the early 1800’s. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for posting them.

Great video really enjoyed the ride along. When you made your right turn in Ash Flat where Mark Martin Chevrolet is on that corner if you would have went straight heading towards Evening Shade AR. You were within 6 miles of my house which made your video much more fun for me. I enjoyed your view of Eureka Springs I took my mother to see the Christ of the Ozarks but my RV is to big to drive through that town and mother could not walk that good so I never got to see it. Now I can't walk so good so I haven't been back go back and forth to M-Home a lot still. Again great video.

If you had went to the right of the building instead of the left in town, there is a paying parking lot. I am from Arkansas.

Thank you for sharing your adventures! Safe Travels!
