Do we want to make a weekend out of this? Just curious, some of us would have a long drive just to get to Talihina. I found a place in Talinina that seems to have a good review. I looked at a couple of dates for the Queen Lodge and they seem to be booked. Any ideas?
I looked on MapQuest and found what looks to be a route full of "twisties". Start at Talihina, go over the Scenic Byway to Mena, then take the other road over to Smithville, then back to Talihina. According to MapQuest that route would take approx. 3 1/2 hours. Then we could go some where for eats.
