We are meeting at Sonic in Paris Texas at 7:30am this Saturday and heading out on a 350 mile cruise through the mountains of SE Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. The talimena drive is an awesome road and we will also be taking scenic 7 in Arkansas. We will be staying the night in hotsprings Arkansas on Saturday night. We have about 14 cars going as of right now. This trip was designed for cars that run 93 octane and guzzle gas fast so don't worry about 93 availability.

Time: 7:30am
Where: Sonic 1603 N Main St
Paris, Texas 75460

We will be meeting closer to the talimena trail this time so that the 93 octane gas guzzling ST people can make the trip through Oklahoma without needing gas. It's 170 miles from Paris to Honobia OK to Talihena OK to Mena AR. In AR they have 93 octane. We will be going across the Talimena Scenic byway into Mena AR. In Mena we will stop for lunch at the Branding Iron BBQ and steak house. They got some good food. Then we will head east to mount Ida AR and go north on HWY 27. Then in Plainview AR we will be getting on Scenic 7 byway and heading South into Hot Springs. In Hot Springs we will be spending the night at "The Hotel Hot Springs and Spa and the Convention Center". Hot springs is an awesome town tucked away in the Ouachita Mountains. There is a 200ft lookout tower we can go check out. There are also bath houses with natural springs you can go soak in. And this bar called Maxine's is my favorite place to eat and drink there. It was a brothel back in the prohibition era when gangsters like AL Capone used to vacation in Hot Springs. On Sunday I plan on heading back into Dallas. We can take the scenic long way back (6hrs) or if you want to get home quickly you can take I30 which is about 4.5 hours back to DFW. If you don't want to spend the night you can also just drive back after we get to Hot Springs on Saturday. I suggest a hotel because 8 hours of spirited driving in the mountains is tiring! And last time everyone had walkie talkies which was great for communication.
