May 30 – June 1 – Little Rock, Arkansas

Stayed at the Downtown Riverside RV Park.  It’s located in North Little Rock across the Arkansas River from Little Rock.  This RV park is near the foot of the Clinton Presidential Bridge.

Day 1:  got settled in, and after lunch we walked over the Clinton Bridge to the Clinton Presidential Center.  Then walked through L.R. River Market district.  Stopped at the H.U. Lee Garden (tribute to Masters of Taekwondo).

Day 2:  took advantage of the gorgeous riverside bike trail.  We rode our bikes from our RV sight out to the Twin River Bridge and park, rode over the Big Dam Bridge and along the Arkansas River for a 20-mile roundtrip bike ride.  I know for you young whipper-nappers 20 miles is a walk in the park for you.  But for us older folks, it was quite an accomplishment!

  After lunch we drove to the Douglas MacArthur Museum, the State Capitol Building, the Viet Nam Veterans Memorial and the Governor’s Mansion

Day 3:  We went to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.  It featured all athletes that either grew up in Arkansas or had some connection with this state.  So there were many sports represented by these athletes:  horse racing, basketball, football, NASCAR, golf, baseball, hunting, and even had a exhibit for Pat Summerall (sportscaster).

After lunch we hopped on the city trolley for a tour through the city.  One of the stops was at the old State Capitol building which is now a museum. Stopped in at Flying Saucer for a drink before heading back to the RV park.
