Franc's off road will be a variation of route #1 Roughly the same miles but slightly more than 6 hours.
Wednesday will be shortened for the BBQ.
We will turn east at Boxley and go over to Jasper then south to 123 and east over to Mount Judea. Lunch at Eagle Crest. Rejoin the #1 route at Harrison.
About five hours and less than 200 miles. More like 175. So one full tank of gas should do it.
For those in a quandary, Tuesday route #1 is essentially the same but fewer stops for pictures, more aggressive driving. So four days, four routes.
Enjoy.

Our group has some High Mileage members but none of them are old couch potatoes when there are twisties to conquer.
When I'm in my crossie, I feel 18 again. I even drive like a teenager.

On Wednesday I and Jessie will be taking the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway lunch excursion.
It departs the train station at 12:30 for a one hour, 4.5 mile old fashion clickitie-clack adventure.
The meal is served on china (no plastic) and there is a choice of three menu entrees.
website: esnarailway.com
Their representative told me there are about 40 open spots for the dinning car.
If anyone is interested please make reservations by calling (479)253-9623.
Cost is $24. I mentioned there may be others from the "Crossfire" group who may be interested.
I will depart the hotel at 10:00 am heading west to the Thorncrown Chapel (glass chapel) then plan to follow the short route No. 3 Greg has laid out slow and easy around route 187 to Beaver Park and the one way suspension bridge. arriving back at Eureka Springs train station about 12:00 for the 12:30 train departure
Eureka Springs Train Depot

Please make your reservations.
All Aboard!
