Awoke to a lovely morning ... high in the low 70's ... had a sausage, egg, toast and fruit breakfast. Took off on a road trip through this part of Arkansas, hoping to see more of the Ozarks. After about 100+ miles surrounding Lake Ouachita, we arrived back in Hot Springs. It looked much like the Hill Country in Texas plus lots of huge trees. Back in HS, we walked a bit, scoped out a bathhouse, then returned to the campground for lunch. Our next challenge was the Hot Springs Mountain Tower atop, you guessed it, Hot Springs Mountain. The tower, at 216 feet above the 1060 foot mountain is most impressive. The view from the top is so impressive! We then checked into the Buckstaff Bathhouse. We had the whirloop mineral bath which included the tub bath, hot packs, sitz bath, vapor cabinet, needle shower and whirlpoot turned on in your tub. The scrub with the loofa mitt was most exhilerating; but, the Swedish massage that followed the whole sheebang made you feel like a refreshed, lightly greased goose! My Swedish massage was administered by a Rumaniyyan! We returned to the RV to relax -- as if I needed relaxing -- and prepare the dinner meal - steak and salad.
The plan is to head into town tonight ... hit the Ohio Bar for some live music and libations. We did go and heard Leven Walkin (guitar) and Roxy (viola). Very nice sound ... loud, but nice.
Tomorrow we head for home ... miss all those folks there!
