Nov 10, 2012 - Eureka Springs Part Two

This is part two of our trip to visit Eureka Springs. After having lunch at the awesome Main Street Cafe and doing some unusual shopping, we visited the Spring Street section of Eureka Springs. I am adding a lot of pictures showing some of the awesome Victorian homes in the area. Some even rent out the whole house for $200 a night. Secluded and peaceful with winding mountainside streets, Eureka Springs, AR has a flair like no other town. In fact, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Eureka Springs as one of its "Dozen...

Nov 9, 2012 - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

We drove about 50 miles today to visit Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Several of our readers told us not to miss this one. After seeing it for ourselves, we totally agree, and highly recommend it to anyone in the area. We really needed a few days there to see it all. We started to take the trolley tour but it didn't start until late afternoon, so we did the tour ourselves. We started out on Main Street and viewed all the awesome Victorian homes, hotels and cottages along with some huge mansions and lots of wonderful shops. The "entire" downtown...

Aug 24, 2012 - Eureka Springs, AK

We are camped in Eureka Springs, KOA campground. The roads here are winding, narrow and have very little or no shoulders. We were glad to get the motorhome parked. The city has steep winding streets filled with Victorian-style cottages and manors. The old commercial section of the city has a streetscape of well-preserved Victorian buildings. The buildings are primarily constructed of local stone and lie along streets that curve around the hills and rise and fall with the topography in a five-mile long loop. Some buildings have street-level...

Jun 12, 2012 - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Our Rotary RV rally ended with a breakfast event on Saturday, the 9th. Our group presented highway safety equipment to the local ambulance department. Going through the buffet line, I had my cold-heavy head on Clark's shoulder, but I did manage to eat most of my breakfast. Our meeting was over in less than an hour and I was able to help get a few things done in order to leave and then fell on the bed. Clark said I missed some really exciting driving through the mountains to get from Branson to Eureka Springs, AR. I was so gone, I knew...

May 10, 2012 - Eureka Spring, Arkansas

On a ete visiter cette ville situe a environ une heure de Branson. Route merveilleuse pour les fans de motos et d'autos qui collent sur la route. En tout cas mon steering fonctionne. En dehors de la ville, motels pour "Biker" only. Je suis sur qu'ils degustent des macarons sur le bord d'un feu en chantant des ballades de John Denver. :-)) En arrivant a la ville, on se croyait un peu sur la route qui longe Wasaga Beach ou Sauble Beach, en Ontario. Mais une fois dans la ville historique et que l'on fait le "Historic Loop", c'est different....

May 2, 2012 - Eureka Springs, AR

After leaving Star City, we had a one night layover in Shirley, AR at a membership park. Full service but a bare place and nothing interesting to see. The next day we drove to Eureka Springs, AR to a Army Corps of Engineers park called Dam Site Lake Park. This place was loaded with birds. We even had a Bald Eagle land about 50 feet from the trailer. Susan and Ihop were entertained by a family of geese with babies. It would have been nice if we could have stayed here longer. We were right on the water.

Apr 30, 2012 - Eureka Springs-Arkansas

Saturday we had a 53 mile drive to Eureka Springs where we are staying for at least 3 nights. We can catch a trolley from the campground to Eureka Springs gives Wal a few days off from driving. We caught the trolley to Eureka Springs that afternoon wandered around the town & shops. Eureka Springs is built on a steep hill where to get from street to street walking you climb steep stair cases, very narrow streets could not take the RV here, there are 60 springs inside the city limits. The streets are so steep that the entrance to St...

Oct 9, 2011 - Beaver Lake

We took a drive through the hills today and ended up at the dock for the Belle of the Ozarks tour boat. We really enjoyed this tour of lovely Beaver Lake, complete with a little history and great info about the fall color. Many trees are already showing their bright reds and yellows. This area has received a lot of rain this year and the bright greens of the grass and some of the trees really set off the fall colors.

Oct 5, 2011 - Beautiful Eureka Springs

We have been having a great time visiting the sights in Eureka Springs. We visited the lovely Thorncrown Chapel where you feel so connected to the outdoors. We have been visiting the different areas of The New Great Passion Play grounds. The first day we went to the Walk Through the Bible tour where talented, costumed story tellers told of their experiences as Bible characters. The next day we attended the dinner/music/comedy theatre on the Passion Play grounds. The third day we went to the Passion Play itself. Another day, we rode the...

Oct 4, 2011 - Eureka Springs

On the road again today, arriving at the beautiful Wanderlust RV Park in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Even though we arrived around 7:00 p.m., they met us at the entrance with a golf cart, led us to spot, and helped us get parked. The park is full so we are sort of squeezed in right now, but will move in a day or so to a beautiful spot with a great view of the hills.

Aug 29, 2011 - Meeting Sandy and Ron

Kettle Campground This is a very nice camp and you can catch the trolley right at your door and ride all over town. Went to a lot of interesting things here. Guess is kind of off season here because some of the places were only open on the week-end Being this is Mon we missed some of it.

May 8, 2011 - Leaving Eureka Springs

We got up early to go to the Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs. It is a church made up of a lot of glass. It was a very beautiful sanctuary. One of the ladies at the end of the service came up to me and said she recognized us from the Passion Play. She especially loved how much Ian enjoyed David the shepherd boys story. Ian laughed so hard throughout the entire thing. She said Ian really made the presentation just by seeing how much he enjoyed it. She was also impressed by how well Ian knew all the bible answers David asked. I told her...
