Hello All! Yesterday, JulieU and I made our pre-drive of the Spring Boston Mountain Tour. Small patches of snow remained on mountain tops, but the valleys are starting to go green. The roads are in great shape, and I did not see one pothole on the entire route. We are planning a group picture at a scenic overlook in the Buffalo National River's Boxley Valley. Yesterday, there were 30-40 elk in the adjacent field nearby the same scenic overlook.
JulieU will be posting information on three motels and one historic hotel in Eureka Springs, AR (located near the tour start point) that we recommend. You may wish to make reservations and arrive early enough on Friday afternoon so you can tour the historic downtown section of Eureka Springs.

Things to consider bringing: Two-way radios (tuned to channel 4), cameras, camera mounts, swimwear, basic tools - just in case (socket set, pliers, wrenches), Fix-a-Flat, spare fuses, basic first aid kit.
Don't forget to check your fluids and tire pressures! Also, please take a few minutes to read this article: Tips for a Successful Group Drive. There may be a quiz!
Our starting/gathering point will be at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. Sign-in and packet distribution will begin at 8:30 a.m. Please arrive promptly and with a full tank. 
Here are some pre-drive pix.
In front of the Crescent hotel:
This will be our first photo-opp stop:
Twisties as far as the eye can see:
Here's the reason why we had to put off the pre-drive for so long:
I took two pix of the elk, but they were so far off in the distance, you can hardly tell what they are (I even zoomed all the way in).
