Road Trip Day 4: Hot Springs to Mineola, TX
There’s a restaurant on Lake Hamilton on the way out of Hot Springs that sells “Oysters!” Not oysters. Oysters!
Daisy, AR (population 88) has a motel and conference center, although its address is in Kirby (population 721).
Dierks, AR has a Family Dollar and Dollar Tree combo store. Apparently this is intentional.
I’m having recurring encounters with the Saline River. I’ve crossed it at least a couple of times in the past two days.
The DeQueen Country Club and Lodge appears to be for sale, or was at one time.
Whether the city is named De Queen or DeQueen seems to be an unresolved issue.
Rolling past a sign for the 4C Cowboy Church before crossing into Oklahoma as Roger Miller sings King of the Road.
A pickup truck in Mt. Vernon, TX runs a red light about 3 seconds before it turns green and makes an immediate right turn into a gas station. Must have been running on fumes.
Mineola is a quaint little town. I chose it for a stop because I didn’t want to go through Dallas.
Stay healthy and safe.
