10/22-10/28 The Creeks, Cave Springs, AR

Well, our first day of touring was a bust!  Cathy wanted to visit the Logan Cave Wildlife Refuge, which besides being in the deepest boonies, has no public access...it is truly a refuge for wildlife and no one is allowed in.  Huh!  Then we went to the River Glen Feline Rescue...which of course has long closed its doors!  On to the Siloam Spring Museum.  (Steve thought Cathy didn't know from Shiloh...fooled him).  Then on to Cabela's to look for some chairs, which are no longer made, of course!!!

Eureka Springs
Thorncrown Chapel
Day two was a little bit better, as we toured the Pea Ridge National Military Park, Eureka Springs, Thorncrown Chapel, and had BBQ at Bubba's!

Steve took a day to bike around the Crystal Palace grounds and visit the library.


Crystal Bridges
Crystal Bridges Complex
We also went to the Walmart Visitor Center in Bentonville, in the Walton 5 and dime.  They have some great stuff in there, and I even remember some of it.  We bought a wax mustache and red lips!  Remember those??

Our tour of Crystal Bridges was wonderful.  It is full of American artists, including Norman Rockwell, Georgia O'Keefe and others.  Fabulous place!
