Our trip so far in point form:
-Leave NB on Jan. 3 and drive to Connecticut
-Wake up, make way too many espresso's (courtesy of Andrea)
-Have a 2 hour session in Lincoln Woods, RI before driving all night (22 hours) to Arkansas.
-Arrive at the dude ranch to find Rodger and Samantha
-Begin climbing on some great sandstone.
-Perfect temps for climbing here, and great rock. We decided to buy the guidebook and extend our stay.

  1. I noticed that you listed a dude ranch in Arkansas. It never occurred to me that there would be one in that part of the country.
