Hey Jim - Searcy Ar and now Cabot all on the same page - bringing tears to my eyes haha... I lived in your little town just north of Jacksonsville back in the 60's when I was serving my country at Little Rock AFB... Got married in Ar, lived at Cabot, Jacksonville, and lastly at Gravel Ridge across the creek... Left the area in 1966...
Used to do alot of tent camping back in those days up in the north central areas running the old Titan II Missile Silo days...
We used to go pick up surplus lots of six jeeps from the Red River Arsenal in Texarkana to fix them all up and sell one or two for money so we could get the other four fixed up for us Air Force buddies to run the deer fields... These were mostly the M38 flat fender 50s jeeps back in those days...

We used to have some great times tent camping in the high country of AR...
Finally migrated up to the Starcraft 14RT Off-Road POPUP trailer in 2008 and still running the roads in that... Its got all the comforts of home and suits the two of us just fine. It also is setup for successfully camping off the power grids for days to weeks on end... Our game plan is to run all the 120VAC and 12VDC toys we want to have around from the battery bank then re-charge everything back up the next morning in a three hour 2KW Honda Generator run.
This is my floorplan minus the tent beds and is pretty much all wired for Ham radio...
One of these days I am going to get back to the area and Maybe Bondebond and I can go find some of the closed down Missile Silos
