Headed Home; Day 4
It was 28 degrees when we woke up in Clarksville, Arkansas this morning. There was frost on the Poonie! It was sunny and 32 when we drove away from the hotel. The low at higher elevations was 30. High today was in the mid forties.
Our route for the day was 21 north out of Clarksville (the Ozark Highlands Scenic Byway), 16 west, 23 north through Eureka Springs and Holiday Island into Missouri, 86 east, 65 north to Branson.
Just north of Clarksville we had a deer run across the road about 10 yards in front of us. A reminder to keep alert. I enjoyed the route to Eureka Springs. There were plenty to hills and twisties and it was pretty in some places. Many of the trees had lost their leaves, however.
We drove through a very narrow street in Eureka Springs to get a photo.
We visited Holiday Island so Chris could see the condo her parents used to live in part-time.
And we ate Mexican for lunch at El Mariachi in Holiday Island.
In Branson we walked around The Landing area, picked up our tickets, and attended the 3:30 showing of the Miracle of Christmas at the Sight and Sound Theater. Good show.
After the show we drove north (in the dark) to Springfield, where we checked into our hotel at 6:45. It was 35 degrees. We covered 212 miles today. Tomorrow we go home.
