Hot Springs NP

A non driving day to spend in the NP.  Hot Springs is a sorry excuse for a NP.  It is the smallest park in the system and consists of a row of 19th century bath houses and one trail!  We toured around and saw what there was to see and generally had an R&R day.
On Friday morning we left to head toward New Mexico.  Drove about 300 miles thru Arkansas and Oklahoma .  We drove secondary roads and it was much better than the interstates which have been nightmarish with trucks.  camping at a nice state park in Waurika Ok.  Off tho NM today

We felt the same way about Hot Springs...drove into the campground, drove out of the campground. Did bring some of that special water home...still ageing so I guess it wasn;t the Fountain of Youth...oops, wrong city!

Amarillo by morning.....Looking at your current trajectory you could check out Santa Fe NM, if you do and need a laundry night the El Rey motel is a neat place. If you stay north, Canyon de Chelly (de-shay) AZ is worth a look, we had the Canyon to ourselves one morning, then two days later shared the Grand Canyon with about a half million folks.

Linsey went to high school in hot springs. Apparently it has the science high school for ARKANSAS. I didn't stop when we drove through as Linsey was anxious to get home. I was sorry we didn't now maybe not.
