I'm planning a trip to OP sometime in Feb/March. I have some friends that live around an hour or so drive from Hot Springs. We plan on taking a trip, (or two) to Oaklawn.

For you that have spent some, "Quality" time there, shoot me a PM with some good places to go for food and, "Spirits"

I drove through Hot Springs several years ago and it is a very nice place. Unfortuntately it was in the summer and OP was dark at the time.


All the best, Shergar
