Beautiful sunny albeit HOT morning for a rise and shine with our fellow Villager MINIS.

Then a trip to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport where we got registered for MINIs Takes The States ((MTTS) on the tarmac at the Airport. Over 800 MINIs were starting out from this location.

The rally was headed to Dallas but a group of our Villager MINIs chose to take a side trip to Eureka Springs instead. We had a spirited drive on the back roads of Arkansas.

We had a lunch stop at the breathtaking Cliff House Inn overlooking the “Grand Canyon of the Ozarks”

Then it was on to the “Switzerland of the Ozarks” – Eureka Springs. Rhonda and I had been here several years ago to drive MINIs In The Ozarks. If you are ever out this way it is an amazing and unique town well worth a trip. Rhonda found an amazing B&B where most of us stayed…

Although we found many restaurants were closed on Monday & Tuesday we walked the streets to a great dinner spot and had an amazing dinner. Here are a few street scenes…

This bath house was originally a brothel.

Does it’s sign make you think of anything?

On to OKLAHOMA.
