RE: [ST] Need help with Arkansas Roads

[RedRiders <RedRiders@xxxxxxx>]

Scott, the Talimina Parkway runs from Oklahoma into Arkansas, through Queen 
Wilhelmina State Park (Arkansas).  If I am remembering correctly (& I'll check 
the map tonight), it's hwy 88 in Arkansas, and Hwy 1 in Oklahoma.  You may be 
better off looking for the Park than counting on my numbers.  When approaching 
Mena on it from the Oklahoma side, the sweepers at the top tighten rapidly, 
without much warning, so take it easy.  The first real curve after the 
sweepers is a 25 mph blind decreasing radius. . . .
