01_FRII DAY ONE-Hot Springs, AR

Phat Hughesbaby

Well ladies and gentlemen I'm on the road again and totally stoked to bring you my experiences for your reading pleasure.  My goal on this ride is to check off the last three states Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine to complete all fifty!  Sweet!

Today I traveled to Hot Springs, AR some 300 miles of winding roads and beautiful trees.  The weather was excellent as I was racing a thunderstorm that was approximately an hour behind me.  This may have been reason it was a beautiful 60 something degrees, perfect!

The trip was not so photographic as it was several weeks ago when I went through for the first time, but I did want to show you my hotel.  On my last long ride you'll remember that I used nearly 500,000 Hilton Honors points, which was fantastic!  This time I was using money, my money, so I looked for a little more economical hotels / motels.

I spent the night in my first $39.99 hotel room tonight.  The Fountain Hotel, an original Hot Springs hotel.  It was all I needed, amazing, huh.  Check it out and I'll catch up with you tomorrow.
