Here we go, again. For those who've been, you know why we do this one. For those who haven't, come find out. Arkansas has some of the best twisties I've driven. We hit the Ozarks before the leafs turn so we have a lot of miles of great roads with little traffic.
SolNut started a FB event, too. https://www.facebook.com/events/170457053107554/
WHEN: Thursday-Sunday, October 17-20
WHERE: Russelville, Arkansas
HOTEL OPTIONS: I'll call and try to get something lower for Fairfield where I just booked online. We tend to split up based on points and other discounts.
Solstice rates at Fairfield Inn $99 and Hampton $95. Lot of hotels close together if you want to use points/discounts.
