We left the Hot Springs area and headed north. We took Arkansas Scenic Byway 7 up to Eureka Springs. Scenic Hwy 7 has been voted one of the top 10 most beautiful drives in the US. Along the drive you pass through quaint towns, beautiful mountains, outstretched lakes and a never ending forest. It definitely lived up to its reputation; it was gorgeous. One of the highlights of the drive was when a black bear ran across the road about 50 yards in front of us! I reached for my camera but the bear was way too fast. After we all settled down Peyton had the quote of the day. He said, "You don't see that in Sacramento." We all had a big laugh and Dave and I shared a proud smile. Although it was a great drive it was also very curvy. I made Dave pull over for lunch because when I even attempted to get up I was tossed all over the RV. Tanner and I were also a little carsick. We pulled into Harrison around dinner so we stopped at a Mexican restaurant for a bite to eat. It was situated in a old Victorian home. The food was great and the waiter was originally from the Sacramento area.....small world. We are actually quite amazed at how many people we bump into that are from the Sac area. After dinner we drove the last 45 min into Eureka Springs and settle into the Wanderlust RV Park (this park was recommended by our English friends we met back in Peoria). We are looking forward to the many activities this town has to offer.
