Fascinating History, big storms, raging fire<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We arrived during a Tornado Watch for western Arkansas. Here we “only” experienced a Major Wind\/Rain Storm, which thankfully didn’t hit until after we set up camp. It was essentially over by morning and the last 2 nights were gorgeous. <\/p>\n\n\n

Then<\/strong>…yesterday, the Adelaide Hall Building, which housed the Bricktown Brewery and was one of the oldest buildings in town, was gutted by a fire<\/a>. The fire started ~10 hours after we had a lovely dinner there after our first day of touring, and wasn’t fully extinguished for ~12 hours. We only discovered it, because we tried to visit the Fort Smith History Museum<\/mark><\/strong>, but being a block away from the fire, was closed for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we accomplished our main goal…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
