Hey, I *tried* to tell you guys that the "Bates" Mountain Inn was, at best, interesting low-budget accommodations. I just had to stop short of actual slander.
The excursion train still runs through that part of the world, but the route is now punctuated by several high-elevation overpasses for I-540. Change runs rampant -- NW Arkansas has traffic jams now. Took me 90 minutes to make a 25-minute drive yesterday... :-s

If this quest turns out to be an otherwise dry run, let me know. The U. of Arkansas periodically holds surplus equipment auctions, and it's not uncommon to still see a fine vintage Selectric go through. Only problem is, computer and office equipment has to be purchased in pallet-sized lots. My buddy and I have a three-pallet rule... ;)
As long as it doesn't require a stay at the Bates Inn, or getting mooned by the locals, I'm in...8-)

(PS -- For those of you who weren't there, the Univ of Arkansas hosted the legendary VM Workshop once. Accomodations were .... *interesting*, and the big dinner event involved steam trains, a trip into the WAY back beyond of Arkansas, and a unscheduled display by the natives. I'll let Gabe tell the tale of the Bates Inn...)
