Days 3 & 4 - Gulpha Gorge Campground (Hot Springs National Park)

Went for a really awesome run in downtown Little Rock before hitting the road to Hot Springs National Park.  There are miles of trails that have been developed along the riverfront and the grounds that they run thru are beautiful.  I really need to get a new camera!  

It only took us about an hour to get to the the park and it's really gorgeous right now with the many colors of fall.  Gulpha gorge campground is very nice as well.  Our site backs up to a very pretty creek and, of course, there's a mixture of trees all around us. Trails through the woods lead from the campground to downtown Hot Springs and we walked it with Roscoe once, and ran it together without him another time.

The history of the bathhouses is very interesting and we learned a ton from our national park tour guide who explained it all to us.  I also took several pictures of others that were on the tour with us which was a lot of fun.  I must have a sign around my neck that says I'd be glad to take a picture of you.  I get asked all the time.  Only problem is I never bring any of my own pictures home with me.  Like I said, I really need to get a camera.  I know my phone has one, but it's a hand me down from Alexa and I've dropped it a couple of times which I think may have cracked the lens.

Headed to Austin tomorrow.  Will see how far we get.
