thanks for the trip report. My husband was born in Hot Springs. His father used to be part owner of the petting zoo, duck boats and taxi company. If you go into the office at the petting zoo and look up over the door, there is a photo of his dad Earl on a 13' alligator they caught in a little jon boat. His dad also drove a taxi in Hot Springs and used to have gangsters as fares. His children asked him to write a book about his life but he said the gangsters family would come after them! Hot Springs has a wonderful history and is a beautiful little town. Glad you enjoyed the trip. Great report!
WE saw that pic!! I remember us talking about the boat was just a LITTLE bigger than the 'gator! Like we would have 'nope-d' our way right outa there!
