Chuck's Christmas Trip to Arkansas, part 2

Welcome to part 2 of Chuck's latest trip to Arkansas. 

We always go for a walk on the Promenade.  

This is a new sign - Happy Hollow Cold Spring is one of several fountains where you can fill up jugs with real spring water straight out of the mountain. 

Ooooo, warm!

Hello there, friend!
FRIEND!  Don't fun away from me!
FRIEND!

Another spring

Yet another spring.

The Hot Spring Rehab Center - formerly the Army/Navy Hospital.

We didn't do much else with Chuck while we were there - Spawn & I went to visit a couple old cemeteries.  Christmas happened. A trip to the Buckstaff Bathhouse. 

We left to come home on December 28.

It was pretty dull thru this part of Arkansas.

After we got done giggling at the name of the Kum & Go in Paragould and filled up the car / got beverages, I took the time to admire this kinda neat sculpture.
As I was posing Chuck, a teenage boy ran up & asked if he could take a pic, too!  So I introduced  him to Chuck & gave him a Cliff-notes version of his story.

YAY!  Since I may have been napping when we crossed the Mississippi on the way south...

Illinois!

Indiana!  We stopped for the night in Terra Haute.

The Indianapolis Weather Doppler Radar Dome.

Hmmphf.  Guess we're NOT welcome in Ohio!

Almost home!

A quick stop at Tim Horton's in Dundee
(and a photo op across the parking lot at the Beef Jerky Outlet)

Home Sweet Home!
And that's the extent of the snow we came home to.
