We started out the week near Memphis desperate for showers. Luckily for us, February 9th was National Pizza and Bagel day and Planet Fitness was inviting anyone to work out at their gyms and get free bagels in the morning and pizza in the evening. We took full advantage of both times, getting two free workouts, bagels, pizza and WiFi to watch the Ducks get their revenge against Arizona State.
From Memphis, we drove to Little Rock, Arkansas, where we took advantage of free scavenger hunt tickets we received though the Let's Roam app we used in Austin. We walked all around the town, seeing sights and learning a bit about Little Rock history.

We ended the day in Hot Springs, AR. There we visited Hot Springs National Park. It got a bit cold that night and made for a really cool looking fountain at the park.
After visiting our 11th National Park, we headed west towards Oklahoma City to try and catch up with a friend of Kathleen's from the Peace Corps. We took the scenic route through the Ouachita National Forest and into Oklahoma. We decided to pass up the Ozarks, even though we heard they were beautiful. They'll be going on our "places we didn't get to, but would still like to see someday" list. We're eager to get to Big Bend and the large cluster of National Parks in that area and want to keep moving.
