Chime in! -Jeff I'm a "part timer" in Arkansas. I own a cabin near Caddo Gap (about 7 miles west of Glenwood). I'll be in Arkansas 10 days beginning October 22. If the housing market here in Florida wasn't so flat I'd be in Arkansas permanently. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I wouid look forward to the fall! LOL we call that Little Mexico. 2 big corporations there...Wal-Mart and Tyson. Seriously, it is a beautiful area though.

TheKurgan Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Moved here for a new job with Walmart in the enterprise software group. So far so good! :-) Do they still make IT people wear ties ? My uncle was a COBOL/CICS programmer there for a number of years. I remember him telling me when they walked from WM to Sam's across the street they made them take off their ties. Seemed pretty silly. Good luck, I hear they run a tight ship there. I work in enterprise software too...mainly IBM/Java based stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gth0007 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but have had my GT500 for over a year. I live just east of Fort Smith. I'll be in Caddo Gap, Arkansas (30 miles west of Hot Springs) from October 22 -November 1st. I own a nice cabin there located on 5 acres on Collier Creek.(www.colliercreekcabin.com) I'm bringing my SGT. A lot of great cruising back roads in the area. Any Arkansas folks want to meet up for lunch, dinner, drinks, and talk Shelby ?? Maybe a mini-car show, the cabin is on a rural paved road OR maybe meet at a central location ??

Marc On Memorial Day there is a nice car show in Mt. Ida, Arkansas which is about 30 miles east of Hot Springs. Mt. Ida is in the heart of the Quachita Mountians with scenic drives from just about any direction, particularly Arkansas Route 7 and another through Jasper, Arkansas. The show is held on the Montgomery County Courthouse Square and is a family event. The Mt. Ida Chamber of Commerce web page has the details.

Larry ( part time in Arkansas, part time in Florida) State Highway 7 from I-30 in Arkadelphia North up through Hot Springs is a wonderful drive with lots of curves and very scenic. The marina on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs just off 7 has great seafood and oysters when in season. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffIsHereToo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yes, I know it's ben a little cold, and those of us in NWA have had a dusting of snow, but let's start thinking and talking spring! :happy feet: There have been some GREAT suggestions thrown out over the last few months but let's get serious and plan something to kick off the new year. Let's discuss a cruise and get together in the April/May timeframe? The above Mt. Ida show sounds REALLY cool but is it to late in the year? Do we want/need something earlier? Thoughts?

Thoughts? mid-March or early April has fairly decent weather usually. Memorial day weekend is always good (temperature). The Quachita Mountains are really pretty in the spring with some great driving roads, especially in the Jasper area all the way down to Mt. Ida. The ladies would like the shopping in the Hot Springs historic downtown (35 minutes east of Mt. Ida), good restaurants as well. Arkansas is one of the better kept secrets, not great for jobs, but not crowded in the Quachitas. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm good with Mt. Ida the only open question would be the large Eureka Springs Mustang show that was held Memorial Day weekend last year. THEY Haven't put up dates yet for 2011.

JeffIsHereToo Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just got home after three weeks on the road. Sent a note to the organizers of the Eureka show to see if they had a date. We should plan to go to that as a group regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Ok...The Eureka Springs Mustang show will be held Saturday May 28th. Web site hasn't been updated yet with the date: http://www.eurekaspringsmustangshow.com/ It's a large show, good drive, and nice cars. We can go and park as a group. Thoughts?
