I literally woke up in Ashdown, Arkansas, grabbed a danish at a gas station, and gunned it to the closest town in Oklahoma! I would have loved to have had the time and/or the money to be more picky about which towns I went to, but I had two days off and at this point, I had little choice! I know Broken Bow, much like Ashdown, may not be the perfect representation of these states. At the same time, I think everywhere is worth seeing! People still call these towns home, and maybe it deserves a little spotlight!
One of my favorite parts about going to these little towns are the comments I will get about where I should have gone, or people saying "hey, that's my home!" Being from Redding, California, I know how exciting it can be when somebody acknowledges your small town. It's silly, but it's true! I wish I could reach out to these people beforehand and get suggestions for restaurants etc!!
