    Outdoors will work for me. Should have my new manly shoes in by then! Now...where shall we meet? I suggest a centrally located place for all of us. I don't mind driving at all...Say 3:00pm??? Crystal Bridges (dated her, but she was a dud..), Bentonville Doggie Park Trail, Lake Wilson..Fayetteville, somewhere in Rogers???

    Lemme know. Will post up on my wall...do the same if you don't mind.

    I would love to meet at the Botanical Gardens in Fayetteville and walk there and around parts of Lake Fayetteville :)
    We could even park a vehicle or two on one side of the Lake, caravan around to the other side and walk the full way around, and have a way to get back when our legs turn into noodles, hehe.

    That's a great idea Kit! I walk there with my granddaughter so it's kid friendly & even have a stroller & would be willing to "stroller hike" with a extra "drip" if needed lol

    Done deal...3:00pm it is...kids welcome..handicappers welcome...spouses welcome..Thank you! Yer welcome! I have a minivan that will seat 6 besides me and room in the back for strollers, bag food, etc.

    Just tell me where the heck to park...white 2005 Chrysler minivan with a dent on the back door. See profile to meet my wife.

    So, just to be sure...we meet in the parking lot of the Botanical Gardens right off 265 on the East side of the lake....here via their website: 4703 North Crossover Road, Fayetteville, AR, 72703-0042 (google maps)????

    THANKS Kitt!!!!

    Well the last marker sez 4.75 but there is a small parking lot beside the entrance to the boat dock that will knock off about a mile if that seems to far.

    when I walked around the whole thing I went from the gardens around to another parking lot then down the road to where the baseball fields were (near College) and then over the "dam" to veterans park. From there back to the gardens isnt paved.

    See you all today at the Botanical Gardens Parking lot on the east side of Lake Fayetteville at 3:00pm. Susan (mi esposa) will be there with me. I will not be able to do the whole walk as I am only up to a mile or so at this point of recovery. But, I will be there to cheer you on!

    If you need me, email me at davidcraton@gmail.com.

    Thanks!
