I went to Noth/Little/Rock for 14 days with my daughter whom I had not met for 15 years. I arrived with a temperature between 25 and 30 degrees and stayed that way for 14 days. They called it an Indian Summer but I enjoyed it very much and hope to go for longer next year with my age of 88 years. and maybe a little longer I enjoyed it. ARKANSAS..IS THE PLACE TO BE. thank you.
