Don't buy firewood! I have a trailer load.

See ya there,

Thanks - I'll home in on that and should find it with no problem.

The map helps a bunch. I've been to Ponca before but not east of there so now I have a good sense of where we will be going.

You better get your choice of beverage, or any kind of beverage, before you get near to Newton County (where the Buffalo is) I don't know the wet stores on the south or west side , but I know the ones on the N and E sides!

I think Arkansas is one of the driest states in our great union, it's a shame a poor county like Newton County is dry, they are losing a lot of revenue from the floaters that are drinking anyway.
Here's a map;

No worries Coldspring, I would never confuse Lone Star with something worth consuming.

I am looking forward to seeing folks and just wish I could be there sooner than Saturday. Have fun and don't take all the trees!

Bummer. If it's a 7 day bug, consider the East Texas Hang next week.

If that doesn't work out, there will be more in Texas I know.
