Boston Mountains!

Rode 125 of some of the most beautiful, twisty, rolling roads from Hot Springs through the Ouichita Mountains to go swimming in Long Pool in the Boston Mountains.  Cam had gotten out of the pool and Damaris was in there by herself when she heard a nearby boy tell his dad he wanted to go play with "that girl."  The father told his son that he thinks she wants to play by herself.  It was a false assumption.  Cam heard a little girl at the pool ask her father if real tattoos are waterproof.  If they weren't removal would be a lot less painful, but getting them reapplied after every shower would be a pain.  On our way to Blanchard Caverns and Gunner Pool today.  Plan on doing roughly 200 miles of twisty fun mountain roads!

Arrived In Hot Springs!

Dam and Cam arrived in Hot Springs today around 8'oclock, tired but not exhausted.  We met an old man at a truck stop outside of Nacogdoches who inquired as to where we were going.  Cam told him Toronto, and he replied that his wife had just received an email from a couple who live in Nacogdoches who are currently on the west coast of Canada.  What a Coincidence! 
They went across a land-bridge on to Hot Springs that was spectacular!  Huge lake with mountains in the background!
