Hot Springs Explore




Our day started at the top with a ride to the top of the observation tower in the National Park. We could see 360 degrees of mountains and gorgeous scenery.



After our introduction to the scenery around Hot Springs, we went down to bath house row - the Park visitor center - and came to the conclusion a long soak in the mineral water was in store for these wanderers!



Ross stayed at this hotel (the Arlington) when he was working. It hasn't changed.



Dottie is taking a picture at the site of the original hot springs that "started it all" - 134 degree water.



Lunch was at an Italian bistro where they made pizza before our eyes. We chose paninis, though.



What a grand idea! Did you know you can do something besides text from your cell phone ;)



The details on the various bath houses were fascinating.

Tomorrow we leave, very early, for the next leg of the trip: Big Thicket Preserve and Beaumont, Texas. Seafood, here we come (well, barbecue for Dottie, I imagine.)
