Dry Counties....

Somewhere along our trip to Devils Den, we came across dry counties....

We didn't realize it because all through Arkansas and our trip we saw liquor stores everywhere (not that we "frequented" them... we just noticed). Long story short.... we stopped at a gas station and asked where we could buy beer or alcohol. The woman at the counter was very offended by my asking and said "You can't buy any of THAT here! This is dry county. You have to drive into Oklahoma for that!" I called Gretchen since she is from the area (kind of) and she said we were in major bible country and the woman was probably thinking we were going to hell and how dare we drink with a baby! After some giggles, I was determined to get some brewskis for Jer so I could drink my wine. Jer doesn't like wine. So off we went.... about 30 extra miles to get some beer for Jer... About 5 miles into Oklahoma territory, we came across 2 beer stores... we stopped at this one... It was a woman's mobile home that was added onto and had a burger place and movie rental... along with the beer and wine cooler stuff. Jer purchased a 6 pack for $5-- cheap!
This was our other option... a drive thru beer store. Otherwise it was another 50 miles to Broken Bow to get a "real" liquor store!

Back to Arkansas and on to Queen Wilhemina State Park
