Houston to Hot Springs, AR 11/23/18

We headed out early this morning and met up with the BCJC club in New Caney, TX to caravan up to Hot  Springs, AR. 

 I still always feel bad leaving the kids but it is so nice to have adult time with my husband and go at our own speed.
 Lunch break was at Jucys Hamburgers in Marshall, Texas.  Claimed to be home of the Best Burger in  Texas.  Burger was good, fries were ok and the onion rings and milkshake were great.
 Next pit stop at a gas station so the ones pulling campers could gas up.
 When we got to Hot Springs, everyone separated, some had to set up camp, some find their hotels and we needed to check into our HomeAway condo.  It was not ready yet so headed to check out some of the restaurants we had flagged to try out.  We headed to bathhouse row and took a drive up in to the national forest.  There was a fun scenic 3.5 mile loop that we explored and we found Bambi hanging out.



 As we traveled, the fog started coming in and visibility got less and less as we traveled.
 There is a tower at the top that we will need to come back to.  Even if we had climbed it, it was so foggy we wouldn't have seen anything.

 Visibility getting worse :)
 We found our condo and and got checked in and headed back to Bathhouse row to meet everyone for dinner.  We parked next to this Jeep named CoolWhip which we thought was a cool name.
 Bathhouse row area was decorated for Christmas!
 Quartz stone we found.
 We walked over to one of the Hot Springs to check it out.  You can see the steam coming off behind us.
 The water was hotter than a hot tub would be, it was pretty hot!
 Dinner was at the Superior Bathhouse Brewery.  TheybBrew their own beers with the local water.  Hot pretzel was AMAZING with the beer cheese dip.
 After dinner and our fun photo bombers in the back. 

Tomorrow we run 3 badger of honor Jeep trails!
