I imagine we are done also. No need to go spend time freezing necessary body parts off in the cold.

The forecast today for fri, sat & sun is so very poor....We have changed to Hot Springs AR and Lake Catherine for the weekend camp out....everyone have a great time, where ever you go. Queenie Jeanne

Gosh, Jeanne, that is as far a drive for us as Beavers Bend. In time that is....Must be a lot of up and down.

I think it is the mountains. To get to BB I would go down 71 and over at Ft. Smith.

Seems weird because we are so close but you are further South and East than I am.

I used to consider us an hour to spfd but now is only 20 min or so...but we are still closer to Hot springs. Hot Springs usually has a 10 degree difference is temps also..plus I can say enough good about the Buckstaff Spa... We go straight down 7 scenic and slow....3 hrs max unless we stop for pics....for take detours to see other possible camp sites. To get to BB I have to either go over or around Willamina or over through porum and down. The straight ways sometimes are the best time wise, but the view except for 570 in AR (I think that 570) that passes Devils Den, and Mountain burg, where you get off to go to the NEW and Enhance Lake Ft Smith, (never have be able to get into that park since they re-open due to AR ALL RESERVE Policy.....that is another story.
