hi, thanks for visiting!

arkansas is a wonderful place, particularly if you like rural areas and outdoor activities. this page is about arkansas in general, but i have separate and more specific pages for little rock, mountain view, fort smith, and west memphis, which you should consult if you are going to any of those places.

i am a 59-year-old single white woman, just so you have some perspective on my comments.

it is perfectly OK to e-mail me at VT or at "susiemargaret@comcast.net"

if you find any inaccurate or outdated info in this page, please let me know. thanks!

Great info. Arkansas is a beautiful and underrated state. Being a hillbilly myself I appreciate your remarks. I've got a Mt. Magazine tip on my USA pages.
