Day 32

We spent the day in Hot Springs Arkansas because it looked so interesting and because we really liked our campsite.  The city is within the boundaries of the National Park and the Visitor Center is in one of the old bath houses.  The campground was one of the nicest we've stayed in despite the lack of showers.  Extra added benefit, there's a nudie bar just down the road.  Outside the Park boundaries I expect. 
With any luck, there will be pictures of the city posted above.  The hotels and bath houses were all built in the 1920's.  Rich people came to spend their vacations and get various treatments thought at that time to be beneficial.  Things came to a sudden halt with the depression (sound familiar).  Today, only three bath houses are in operation on Bath House Row.  The pictures of the bath house interior were all taken in the building used as the visitor center.  Good times back then.
