Benton, Arkansas- about 20 miles southwest of Little Rock.  200 miles of which about 140 is 2 lane with a speed limit of 55mph.

I sure hope you are talking about the locally famous Highway 65! ;D

Yep, a 140 mile big rig's brake test!

Bobber this is true! I'm on the Kansas side of things currently finishing my degree at Pitt State.

That it certainly is! It's an engine, and transmission test going North, and a brake test going South. Of course, as they say on the Frisco Silver Dollar Line, if the brakes fail just have a lady stomp her feet because no one can put their foot down like a woman. ;)

Isn't it nice, that no matter where we live we are just one "click" away from SDC when we visit this Website? Howdy, neighbor! Nice time for an Ozarks vacation, huh? ;D

The crazy thing is that I spend more time on this website than I could ever dream of spending at Silver Dollar City. I think of this website as sort of a training simulator to get me ready for the real Silver Dollar City visit. :P

It's a 3 hour drive from the house to SDC; have to add an extra 30 minutes when we're pulling the trailer to camp at Tall Pines on 265.

I agree Junior, this place is a great place to come for an SDC fix. Between you, Rube, Zephon, and Copper, we can get answers to just about every aspect of SDC life. Another thing that is wonderful about SDC Fans is that the regular posters have a genuine love for the park.

6 hours and 20 minutes if I hurry. I truly believe if I lived close like 30 minutes or less I would be a weekly visitor.

Could you imagine? Oh, the mischief I could get into if I was just minutes away from Silver Dollar City. Talk about a kid in a candy shop!  ;D

Wichita KS here.   On our next trip, we're anxious to stop in Pittsburg KS and try out Chicken Annie's and Chicken Mary's.  We saw them on a show on the Food network.  We'll have to hit one on the way out and one on the way back.  Anyone tried either of those?
