Aztek, Stuck, just thinking of pre-run options. Post Nationals looks like a good time for me. Not sure your schedules, but I'm thinking of stopping by on the way back to check out our options. What do you think?

We're driving back on Tuesday, so I'd be up for a short detour, but mrs stuck has to werk on Weds so it can't be an all day thing.
You staying Monday night in Robbinsville or heading a bit west after TOTD? We're doing a full day route on Monday I just posted, then taking our time heading back to Dallas. I've got time to spend a day on the Arkansas roads. No worries, I think we got a pretty solid route.

Chemist got the early bid in on the date. October 12-14 weekend is going to be the date. Should be good for cooler weather and still too early for the leaf peepers. Me and Aztek are planning to scope the roads a bit on the way back from Nationals just to make sure the route works. I'll check Trip Advisor for any hotel recommendations. If anyone has a line on Russellville hotels, let us know.
