I've been driving in this area off and on for years - conducting Staff Rides at Pea Ridge, or driving through on my way to visit relatives in Conway and Little Rock. Bloodspite, who lives just north of the border in Missouri, offers up these tips to help you navigate your way through the area.
Interestingly - both of the farms we looked at have NW Arkansas connections. The owners of the one up in Buchanan County, Missouri, just retired to the Beaver Lake area, and our new neighbors are going to spend the next week camping at Beaver Lake. Heh.
For reasons which will become apparent later - here are some snippets:
If your NW ARK map is more than a few weeks old, throw it out and buy a new one. If you're in Rogers or Bentonville and your map is one day old, then it is already obsolete.If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed out and possibly shot. When you are the first one on the starting line, count to five when the light turns green before going to avoid crashing with all the drivers running the red light in cross-traffic.
If someone actually has a turn signal on, it is probably a factory defect.
All old ladies with blue hair in tank cars have the right of way. PERIOD.
Highway 540 in rush hour is the NWA equivalent of NASCAR. Just shut up and drive like the rest of us.
With these simple rules in mind, you are now ready to drive in NW ARK.
Please try and keep up.
Aha! The truth is out - Bloodspite swiped that from this blogger - Res Ipsa Loquitur. So you should go there to read the rest. Bad Bloodspite for not attributing this! [stern look] But he did make good in the comments - so we edited out most of it - that Ms. Res Ipsa will better benefit from the traffic in atonement for BS's bs.
