Follow airstream almost to park. Arrive around 4-try & take nap. M & W bike over around 6. Take short, dangerous (for me & my knees) hike. Eat at restautant-food not good. Molly & Whitney bike back in rain & dark. I have to go to lobby to finish blog. Armand is probably sleeping. BIKING TOMORROW.

Left at 10-went to HOT SPRINGS-Parked & visited shops-ate another lunch by Molly in airstream. Almost finished chicken salad. They had to stop at Krohers so they could continue to feed us. I had Armand stop at Dunkin Donuts. My sister Martha does NOT invite us on thier trips because I am a SLUG. Don’t know if Molly & Whitney will invite us again.

Hot Springs was known for it’s bath houses-most closed now because of covid.

Bike out at 9 to meet Whitney & Molly on road. 20 m ride around park-hills at 3-4 mph-need e-bike. Weather in 50’s-some roads a little rough but no cars-have beautiful park to ourselves. Lunch by Molly again-made hills worth it. Go back to lodge to get ready for golf at 1:30. Competition-match play-Armand plays from blue & gives me a stroke on every hole. Won 6 holes on back 9 to be winner😊😊. Had course to ourselves except for geese & plenty of geese poop. Nice to be in a cart. Dinner by Molly-pasta /shrimp, salad, bread-better than I ever eat at home. Sit by fire-only thing missing are marshmellows. Exhausted after no nap-in bed by 9. NO BIKING TOMORROW. We are going to Petit Jean State Park.
