HEY,HEY, RVerTV, Russ, Arkansas Highway, Yea , Let the Journey Continue. 👍

[@paulaharnish5091]

Eureka Springs brought to mind Jerome and Bisbee.

[@djsmudgeschannel220]

That's what I was thinking exactly.

[@FROMlefttoRightasdfghjkl]

Bribes?

[@barbarakujawa320]

My grandparents moved to Mountain Home back in mid 1952. I was 11 years old when we as a family of 7 made that trip in a classic old car, a 2x4 stretched across the back seat so the five of us kids could see outside. My oh my what memories come to mind.👍❤️

[@RandiG63]

❤ Arkansas did some digging for crystals and diamonds, IT WAS HOT! Beautiful state for sure. They look like storybook towns. Thanks Russ for another great ride 😊👍

[@yvonnespradlin7705]

Cotter Arkansas, trout capital of the World..Beautiful stop. Big Springs Park..fresh water springs a Beautiful bridge R.M Ruthven Bridge that crosses the White River from Cotter to Flippin..my families neck of the woods, flippin is the home of Ranger Boats

[@lannyfaulkner6697]

Thanks Russ! My wife's Grandparents were born in Eureka Springs around 1890 and lived there until they married and moved to Western Oklahoma for his work in the oil fields. We have visited there on a few occasions. Stay safe and enjoy your trips!

[@mikem.1220]

Welcome to Arkansas! I have been waiting for this home State video for a while!

[@TrudyVaughn]

Wish you had had a chance to see the Crescent Hotel and where the Passion Play is held. First went to Eureka Springs in the 70s and it still has the same charm today in the downtown area.

[@raallen1468]

If you ever return to Eureka Springs, try to visit the (supposedly haunted) historical Crescent Hotel & see the Christ of the Ozarks statue. The residential streets are packed with 100-year-old elegant "Painted Lady" Victorian homes.

[@CaddyOnRoute]

Well said. My thoughts exactly!

[@kppb6844]

The place does not feel right at all. Been there several times. When they found jars with human remains in them buried on the grounds at the Crescent Hotel, you know something is not right about the place. Not to mention it being used a place to cure cancer but no one was ever cured. People suffered, died and were being used as test subjects by a psycho doctor and his staff. All truth.

[@joannewinters9616]

Too cool for school thank you❤

[@heidimartin6711]

Beautiful road trip, thank you ❤Eureka Springs reminds me of Jerome Arizona WITH trees 😊

[@Desert_Bhajan]

I noticed that too! Lots of similarities.

[@ebryan1408]

Eureka Springs is one of my favorite places in the Ozarks. You saw about half of the town. When you decided to make a loop, you could have continued going up to the top of the hill to the Crescent Hotel. The whole town is gorgeous. It is best to park and take the trolly all around town. Best way to see everything. Love your videos!

[@CaddyOnRoute]

Well said. I was just thinking the same thing!

[@melaniecarlisle4771]

The Crescent Hotel is awesome and there's a Catholic Church where you enter at the top of the steeple and walk down several stories to the ground floor with a beautiful gift shop in the church. You really missed out on several sites..maybe another time. Enjoy your videos! 💗

[@margopack6343]

I just found your channel, I watch it on my big screen. I feel like I’m right there with you. Thank you for sharing your beautiful travels.

[@gsp49]

Yes, I've gone places I've watched Russ explore, and actually feel like I've been there before.

Hey Rus I hope That You Have a Fan In Thhat Van

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

Hey Russ, got some AR info for you about this trip. Piggott, AR was the home of Ernest Hemingway & his 2nd wife, Pauline. Ernest wrote a part of "Farewell to Arms" while living there. There is the Hemingway-Pfeiffer House museum in Piggott. Also, in Eureka Springs, you missed going to the "haunted" Crescent Hotel. My wife & I went to Eureka Springs every Thanksgiving weekend for several years with our close friends. The funnel cake store you pointed out was our favorite place to rest & have a tasty funnel cake. This trip brought back memories of our time in AR. We retired 8 years ago & transplanted to Spokane, WA to be near our daughter & family. Thanks for sharing this trip!

[@bobbybigboyyes]

My American g/f has stayed at that hotel a few times and she's going back to Eureka Springs this week.

[@Sir_Longdink]

I'm having a great day here in Toledo Washington It's going to be nice here today, about 71 degrees

[@19800910]

I loved Eureka Springs! I need to go there. I just checked the Trolley map and times, you can leave your car at the parking lot and still get around.

[@purejoy1658]

Thanks for sharing! Eureka Springs was the best! I would love to drive all through that downtown area at night! I imagine the lighting is great there after dark! Let the journey continue!

[@CaddyOnRoute]

The Crescent Hotel is the best! Hopefully you made it west of town to the KOA Kampground. Just beyond that is a wonderful walking nature trail and waterfall at Blue Spring on Hwy 62.

[@pattyvalinote4612]

Hi Russ that Eureka springs was crazy. Back in Pennsylvania it reminded of a little town called New Hope along the Delaware River. You had an interesting trip.

[@bettyhudson979]

Russ you must have slept good from all the walking you did around E.Springs. Beautiful scenery and a great trip around town.

[@markashworth8353]

Awesomeness

[@stevenmoser7233]

Eureka springs is like jerome arizona. Love both towns. I went to college in Clarksville Arkansas.

[@lynnmariec]

The hot springs, in Eureka Springs and the Ozark Mountains are Beautiful, so many quaint college towns. RIVERS, White river, the Ozark mountains. Read up on the rich and famous going to Arkansas to soak in the hot springs.. its just lovely there.

[@tonniessing2274]

Russ what a nice movie I enjoyed it

[@danielstober6249]

Hi Russ: The Note about the only US Highway connecting Canada to Mexico. US 62 is not the ONLY highway, it's the only US highway. There are still a couple of interstates (I-5 and I-35, for example), but those are Interstates, not US Highways. Of course, those interstates replaced other US Highways that originally connected Canada to Mexico. Interstate 5, for example, wiped out US 99, which connected Canada to Mexico back before 1964. Great video!

[@deanchambers5934]

Hey Russ ,didn't know you were coming to Arkansas my home state! You should have let me know...i would have baked you a possum pie!! Good job!

[@marilynbubb-yh5yk]

It's nice to see that alot if small towns keep up there parks so refreshing to see.

[@dietrichfielding5972]

Lived there in the late 90 s early 2000, loved it

[@alanlough638]

I really enjoy watching your KZbin Channel, Russ! Too cool for school. I wish you safe travels. Talk soon, Alan.

[@michaeltaylor2973]

Ha Russ on a bus 🚌 YOUR van is like a bus. I like the way you fixed up your van on the inside quite cozy to work and sleep in sir. I enjoy some the museums you tour 😊

[@percymcnabb4746]

great trip, but eureka springs, wow, fabulos. i hope to visit that place some day. amazing thank you for sharing

[@jasonknight6390]

Pretty cool to see you in my neck of the woods … Northwest Arkansas. Beautiful part of the country … lots of trees, rivers/springs, and good people.

[@peterselten500]

Hi russ thanks alot for the a great tour . Love the old towns an beautiful countryside . Cheers mate🇦🇺

[@imagseer]

What a beautiful place Arkansas and Eureka Springs is! The same kind of crazy development took place at spa towns / health resorts in the UK and Europe back in the day, they built everything so tight together and never would have imagined the kind of traffic we have today.

[@alejack12001]

In Hardy, the big leaf plant is called Elephant Ear. When I visited my Mom's family in the 1960's in New Orleans. They had Elephant Ear plants near the house. I used to listen to the rain when it hit the plant leaf. That was cool for me.

[@gsp49]

We had elephant ears everywhere growing up in south Georgia, I recall breaking a leaf off and using it for an umbrella.

[@rar7631]

Those Arkansas towns are beautiful 🤩

[@kevinp1078]

Good video sir, thank you for not using foul language. God bless you sir.

[@delisaseale5881]

Just found your channel a few days ago when your travel show about Arkansas popped up on KZbin feeds. I grew up in Southwest AR but my husband and I, along with our two children, lived near Pocahontas for 5 yrs in the early 90’s. We saw all the sites up that way. Eureka Springs and Hot Spring are popular places for Arkansans to visit. Eureka is famous for several of its haunted hotels and all the old buildings, including gorgeous old homes and all of its shops. Often Eureka Springs visits entail a trip up to Branson MO to go to the amusement park Silver Dollar City. You mentioned the houses on stilts. Good to see Pocahontas has made a come back. They had a terrible flood this n 2017. There are often earthquake tremors over that way due to the New Madrid fault line. There was a 7.5 in the early 1800’s. Look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for posting them.

[@imanutnur7]

You are in a great area. I am from southern Missouri but I claim northern Ark too.

[@yawndave]

Ah, a virtual Sunday drive with Russ, back-roading and small-towning through "The Natural State"! The Swamp Fox - hey, I watched the Disney TV show growing up. I remember the theme song, "Swamp Fox, Swamp Fox, tail on his hat..." sung by the star Leslie Nielsen 🙂 At 32:45 the Smokin' Ricks BBQ sign - I love walking the main drags of small towns and taking pictures of stuff like that. Until next time, happy trails!

[@Desert_Bhajan]

I've been living here in Eureka Springs for the better part of 40 years. I really got a kick out of your navigating the narrow streets here Russ, lol. Great stuff. Riding the Trolleys is my favorite means of transportation here. Parking is scarce. Loved your walk up behind downtown Basic Park. If I had my druthers, I'd rather be living in an RV somewhere around Quartzsite AZ, but I definitely can't complain about living here. Excellent video, best I've ever seen of Eureka Springs, by far. 👍

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Sitting in my chair with my dog on my lap and traveling through Arkansas with you. I also have my Google maps up and following along on the journey. One day, between all your actual journeys and the places you would have liked to stop, I would love a travel guide. I'm getting closer and closer to doing some road trips too. I've fantasized about moving from town to town and staying maybe a month at a time to really reach out and explore before moving to the next small town.

[@SeabeeTraveler]

Yeah.. I have some family in Hardy. Such a cool place!

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed, Russ

[@francesrosecarmel]

You have a GREAT channel!,,,…..love your explorations……thank you!,

[@gypseekayandGee]

If you had went to the right of the building instead of the left in town, there is a paying parking lot. I am from Arkansas. You consider to travel highway 7 from Harrison to Hot Springs, if you have not done it yet. That is a nice ride. Maybe, also, slide over to Petit Jean State Park. We enjoy your videos! Thank you for sharing your adventures! Safe Travels!

[@lorelyvincent1424]

My husband and I just got back from Arkansas. We stayed in bentonville and drove all around. MT ida was the furthest south. The mountain areas are really beautiful.😊

[@cathrynm]

That downtown, looks nice.

[@carlaschaechtel8103]

Thank you for going to Pocahontas! That's our town. We actually live on 62 west. We love out town.

[@TheSassy777]

Truly enjoy your video. I live in Arkansas and nice to see places I don’t visit. You do a good job of telling us what are doing and what’s up next. Thanks much appreciated 🙏🏻safe travels….

[@jenskimble]

Hey, RVerTV, we just discovered your channel and really enjoy riding along with you. Most recently we have been inspired to visit Eureka Springs, so thank for that one. Last year we visited Iceland and rented a camper van to travel around the country in. We were curious about your van and if you have a kitchen or toilet…. Thank you!

[@patriciavick9123]

Familiar places as I am an Arkansas native. Loved your tour..

[@mchelahre6840]

[@ssranch6017]

I used to live there in Hardy nice place to live. I lived right there by the park across the river.Plan on going back thank you for the video

[@sooner_born2256]

Eureka Springs is one of the most interesting towns in our region. Hardy was nice, never been that far East on 62. Berryville was cool too. Thanks Russ! Surprised you hadn't been there before if you grew up in Oklahoma.

[@jamesr4900]

Arkansas is a pretty state. While living in Kansas we spent many a weekend on the Arkansas winding roads! We rode highway 65 a lot! Interesting fact on 62. Please show more of the RV parks you stay at. We motorhomed for about 8 years. Love the RVer life! Be safe🤠

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Onyx Cave, Cosmic Cavern, Old Spanish Treasure Cave are just some places close to eureka springs. Arkansas is like the land of caves.

[@hoss1003]

Hey Russ, Great video and quick tour of Eureka Springs. That statue in the window you pointed out was, C3PO from Star Wars and that building beside City Hall is supposed to be Haunted. It's got a storyboard there telling everything about the Haunting. Check it out next time you visit.

Just a little FYI: The corner building in Eureka Springs. You said was probably an office building.. it's actually a hotel. Flat iron flats. My husband and I stayed there on our honeymoon in 2015

[@davidsmith1750]

If only you had kept driving through the old town and past all the Victorian homes...beautiful homes!

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

If that big tree was an Oak I found out at a Ladies Retreat this weekend that an aOaks root system is 3 times the height of the tree! That’s why it’s called The Mighty Oak! So interesting! Thank you for showing Arkansas!❤️😀🇺🇸🚙🙏

I live in Texarkana Arkansas but really I am from orange Texas

[@peacedaely1969]

Next time you're in Eureka Spring you should check out the view from the Passion of the Christ. Absolutely beautiful. Also has part of the wall from Russia.

[@patmccormick438]

I enjoyed your trip through Arkansas. You missed so much. There was an Ernest hemmingway house in Piggott and you missed the passion play passion of Christ statue and the old insane hospital called the Crescent Hotel in Eureka springs. I guess you didn't have time but next time stop by! We'll worth it!

[@tjjudah]

Thanks Russ.. I know 2 sweet friends in Arkansas.. she has a pet squirrel named Theodore 😇🐿
