I did a road trip last year that I loved. I started off in the Great Smokey Mts which I highly recommend. Then I went to Nashville, Memphis in Tn and up to Arkansas to Hot Springs and Blanchard Caverns. Then I made my way to Mississippi, Alabama and back home. Loved Arkansas. Friendliest people ever. I loved Hot Springs and the caverns. There is a cool folk center near the caverns. I was only gone for about 10 days.
