Having lived all my life (so far) in Arkansas, I've driven the Ozarks
uncountabazillion times in the Sprite and/or the big Healey. It's the
most wonderful LBC driving I could ever imagine - and I have been many
other places too. If you're coming from the south, southeast, southwest
or west your travel would be well enhanced if you come thru the Arkansas
Ozarks north of I-40 on your way to MO this June. There are many roads
and routes to choose from including the Pig Trail (which makes me squirm
in my office chair just thinking about it). If you find yourself
passing near central Arkansas you'll wanna stop off at McLeod's British
Cars at Maumelle and check out the huge inventory of new and used LBC
parts and cars you'll ever come across. See ya'll there!!

Bill and all,
There has been some discussion of putting a few convoys together from
other
regions as well. Offers for special treatment along the way are in place
for
Blytheville, AR and Eureka Springs, AR. The Mayor of Blytheville himself
will be attending the event and has offered to host people passing
through
Blytheville from the southeast. Eureka Springs is only a few hours south
of
the event site and is actually the northern terminus of the famed "Pig
Trail" on Arkansas Highway 23 - one of America's top ten roads as rated
by
Car & Driver.
There was some talk about a group coming from the far Southeast and also
from the Northeast and from Southern California. We probably need to set
up
some sort of clearing house for this as has been suggested though I'm
not
sure of the best way to do it. Suggestions much appreciated!
I'm thinking of trying to piece together some sort of frappr map which
would
identify the stops along each convoy route to Lake of the Ozarks. Whadda
ya
think?
"50 Years of Spridgets" is rapidly shaping up to be a wonderful rally
and we
are getting excited about all the fun to come!

Cheers!!

Don't miss "50 Years of Spridgets" at Lake of the Ozarks, June 26-29,
