Moonlight Cruisin':
Some of us got an early Halloween by "extending" the cruise a little more than intended.  At least two (we think there was more but they're not talking) separate groups of 10+ cars went straight where they should have made a 90-degree right only to end up a quarter mile down a one-lane dead-end rock road.  Backing up the densely tree/brush-lined road with a sharp drop-off on one side at midnight was a challenge but no damage, except to egos, was reported.

Singin' da Blues (and much more):
Hopefully you didn't miss the Saturday night concert in downtown Eureka Springs.  Don Shipps Titanic Blues Band did an outstanding job with a wide variety of music at a much appreciated moderate volume level.  Lots of car-related songs.  Even a terrific rendition of Jimi Hendix' All Along the Watchtower - for us 60's types. 

Just across the street from the bandstand, the Class Winners display was impressive in the downtown lights.  And the constant stream of Vettes rumbling by was a show in itself.
