While gas isn’t the cheapest these days, one of my favorite things to do is go for a drive. I’ll usually just pick a road/direction and see where it takes me. I listen to podcasts, music, or audiobooks and roll the windows down if the weather permits. I’ll usually stop in whatever small town I’m passing through if it looks interesting and check out antique shops, coffee shops, diners. Walk around the square or parks. If there aren’t any good towns to stop through, gas station snacks are a good substitute.

If you want to drive all day, my favorite in NWA. Any combination of Jasper/Ponca/Eureka Springs is good for the soul.

Good luck! Hope you find your zen.

I think it’s A between Strafford and Fordland. Windy, lovely, excellent in good weather. Especially when the leaves start changing color or the trees are in bloom. (Not great in winter or when there’s a flash flood warning, though.)

Love that area. I go to Compton Hollow nearby a lot and there are some really beautiful hills and farms out along that drive. Fun roads too.
