How to Scout (Sweat) In Rural Arkansas / Overcrest Rally

[@noahspain2367]

I'm glad you guys liked the roads here. Part of the success of our event, TougeCon, are the amazing roads in the area. I know the pain of scouting! I have been planning the routes for our event for 4 years now. 😂

I recently made a road trip to the Ole ArkNSaw to grab some wheels a year ago....and got into the mountains at night! It was friggin wild! Drivers Paradise!

I prefer the KZbin, feels more like hanging out than audio only.

I used to live in NW area (Siloam Springs, Gentry, Gravette) and use to do the trip up to MN and back. Definitely got nice roads and (crossing fingers) little cops per say. I will say the only "dangerous" things are the smaller roads as it's not uncommon that you'll get a semi-truck going 60mph on a 45mph turn with the s-curved-like roads having no side. Edited (as I listen along): it is true that education funding is crap down there. Sister worked in a Lincoln and basically had no fund. Gentry had ancient educational books compared to MN. Gentry and the next city to it (Decatur) is really poor. Decatur was so poor that it's school was shut down and kids had to be split up to the nearby cities for schooling. Doesn't help that small Wal-Mart stores started popping up everywhere killing smaller stores but what you can you do when your state is the home state for Wal-Mart. Southern hospitality there is much warmer than MN nice too. They won't be afraid to tell you what they feel. But their friendliness definitely feel more genuine than the MN nice.

Minnesota nice is a fraud. 100%.

As a person that lives here, I also am curious why Arkansas? Road and Track rated roads in NW Arkansas as one of the top 10 places to drive...but that was in the 1970s. You're gonna find those pot holes when you come back 😂 Also, Ouchita is pronounced Wash-ah-tah. Wish I could go in the rally. Maybe next year

I actually noticed some absolutely glass like roads. Zero potholes in the entirety of the time I drove out there.
