Heading to Eureka Springs Today
I’m heading to Eureka Springs (Arkansas) today to pick up a couple works and a new set of prints. I haven’t been up in a while, actually. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day to drive, so that’s good. Eureka Springs is practically in Missouri. It’s about 3 hours one-way from here, which isn’t bad, but I wouldn’t want to do it every day. And the scenery is just beautiful, so that makes it nice. I figure I’ll take my to-call list and make a few phone calls before my signal turns to shit. It’s so hilly that it gets tough to find one pretty quickly, especially, oddly enough, on a sunny day.
Quick side note: I wonder how the tourist season has been this year. I imagine it’s slowed down a little with gas prices here, too. I’m hoping on the open road my car will get over 40mpg. It’s topped out at 39 so far, but that’s driving in town, too, so that messes with the gas mileage quite a bit. I’m actually pretty anxious to see how it does. Before it took me almost a full tank of gas to get there and back. I’m hoping to cut that down to a half or so. Wishful thinking, maybe.
Wow. what a boring blog. Sorry about that. It’s early and I’m not very inspired just yet.
