This is a list of possible things to check out if I’m in the area. It includes my Arkansas Bucket List items, which are also listed separately here.
I’ve also decided to use this page to record my first visit to each county, or at least the first one I have record of. The few with question marks are counties I know I’ve visited, but I can’t track down a date of my visit.
