The Ozarks and University of Arkansas – Fayetteville, AR

We arrived in Fayetteville, Arkansas in the beautiful rolling hills of the Ozarks on Sunday, Oct. 22.

Arriving on Sunday is significant in that the University of Arkansas  Razorbacks had hosted a football game the day before and we were able to glimpse our first  snapshot of how rabid Southern football fans are. The campus still had tailgate canopies in place and the parking lot was full of large RVs.

We have added Northwest Arkansas, locally known as NWA, to our list of possible places to live once we decide to settle down. The Walton family (Walmart) has poured a lot of money into cultural amenities in the area, the area is beautiful, and being close to a university provides lots of opportunities.
