from elsewhere. Spridget list.

Having lived all my life (so far) in Arkansas, I've driven the Ozarks uncountabazillion times in the Sprite and/or the big Healey. It's the most wonderful LBC driving I could ever imagine - and I have been many other places too. If you're coming from the south, southeast, southwest
or west your travel would be well enhanced if you come thru the Arkansas Ozarks north of I-40 on your way to MO this June. There are many roads and routes to choose from including the Pig Trail (which makes me squirm
in my office chair just thinking about it). If you find yourself passing near central Arkansas you'll wanna stop off at McLeod's British Cars at Maumelle and check out the huge inventory of new and used LBC parts and cars you'll ever come across. See ya'll there!!
 
I Googled Pig Trail and got this

Pig Trail: Ozark to Eureka Springs, AR

Preview: A 78-mile drive from Ozark north across the rugged Boston Mountains to Eureka Springs. Climbing out of the Arkansas River valley, the route scales the rugged Boston Mountains, offering breathtaking views of a densely forested, seemingly never-ending landscape. This region is the highest and most deeply dissected of the Ozarks, with local relief sometimes exceeding 1,500 feet. Sandstone bedrock forms bluffs and rocky slopes that favor shortleaf pine, the Ozark region’s only native pine. In sheltered deep ravines, moist, cool conditions provide habitat for such uncommon trees as American beech and umbrella magnolia. In the lush understory, ferns, orchids, and spring wildflowers carpet the ground. Special attractions: Pig Trail Scenic Byway, Ozark Highlands Trail, Ozark National Forest, White Rock Mountain Recreation Area, Mulberry River, White River, and Reed Mountain Park; fall colors, scenic views, hiking, canoeing, fishing, hunting, and camping. This eTrail is a complete description of a scenic drive with a route map and information on the best travel seasons, interesting sites, recreation opportunities, camping locations, and much more.
