Hi Paul,

My name is Randy Roy--perhaps a distant Confederate cousin, by marriage:>)

I go to Blanchard Springs Park quite a bit. While visiting there you could enjoy the beautiful caves and local hiking trails. A few miles down the road outside the tiny town of "56" Arkansas is a campground named "Gunner Pool" which enjoys a beautiful mountain spring year round. Still a few miles farther down the road is Barkshed, an excellent and dark campground. All these sites are part of the Sylamore trail system in Arkansas and follow a beautiful mountain stream with high rock bluffs, waterfalls and incredible vistas. If you are into fly fishing, you can harvest trout during the day and observe the stars at night.

No, I'm not employed by Arkansas' dept of tourism. In fact, I live outside of Memphis where things are more 'civilized' (a.k.a., light polluted).

Best wishes,

Randy
