many years ago we went on an epic road trip and sent a postcard from every sightseeing location to my dad. He kept them. After he passed away we found the postcards and looked over them with our kids-now in their 30s. fun to remember the trip from their point of view as kids with those notes we sent my dad. I would suggest the post cards and write your favorite memory from that day. In our digital day it is a quick tactile way to remember the best parts of a long trip.
One of my favorite things about full timing, when Sunday hits, the majority of the campground empties out and remains that way until Thursday or Friday. The weekends are usually pretty packed and hectic but we generally use the weekends to travel to our next spots.
Many years ago (circa late 80's), we began with collecting shot glasses, but soon learned that they need a lot of shelf/closet space to display/store. So, about 8 years ago, we switched to magnets and are so glad we did. Much easier and safer to pack while still traveling and easier to display once home -- I created framed magnet boards for them: one for US and Caribbean and another for the rest of the world.
Magnets will eventually weigh you down. Post cards, if you write a brief note about your experience at the location AND put them in a dedicated box. I suggest stickers to place somewhere on the vehicle. Inside a cabinet door, outer access door. Alternative, piece of heavy clear film, cut to the interior size of a window. Place stickers on the film. Easy to display, take down when you want, keep if/when you have a new adventure vehicle.
Another possibility for a collection are enamel pins. You can get a sheet of thick corkboard and stick them into it for display. Might work better even than magnets if you don't have a lot of ferrous metal surfaces to put them on.
You can bind the postcards into a book and write on the back where you’ve been. You can add a magnet panel somewhere to put the magnets but it does take up a lot of visual space. Personally, I’ve been doing postcards and stickers for when I go to national parks. Much lighter and less waste!
I think you should collect postcards. Then you can right on the back your favorite memory and put them in an album. I collect Christmas ornaments from wherever we go.
In the UK, those magnets are called 'Fridge Magnets' because they stick to the metal door face of the fridge, though any ferrous surface would do. I'd go with the magnets anyway.
We collect Christmas tree ornaments when we travel. Sometimes we repurpose items we think are lovely that aren’t meant to be ornaments. Every Christmas we get to relive our trips
Glad it’s cooling down for you. Must admit, had just a tiny bit anxiety wondering if one of might lean back in the chair on the roof, have it flip backwards, and off you tumble to the ground! Oh, we had a hot week in San Diego…up to 80F a couple of days…back to a more appropriate 72F today.
Is that roof rated for load-bearing? I'd be worried about stressing it out and springing little leaks in the fall. Great film anyhow, you're certainly selling the RV lifestyle. I'm very impressed with how the rig is handling those mountain roads and Eureka looks like a lovely town to visit. The cocktail menu needs a bit of work!
no matter what drinking on a roof without a railing, is dangerous. i have seen it go wrong for a pregnant woman that was not drunk, she dident know on leg from the chair was over the side when she sat down. if it can´t stand the weight, then it will probetly start to leek in the top, if you dont fall through the roof
Eureka Springs is epic! Such a fun quirky town. It’s a MUST SEE! Definitely do tour the famous historic Crescent Hotel, supposedly haunted and was featured on one of those ghost hunting Tv shows.
Great to see Clementine performing A-okay for you. I also appreciate that you leave in the little snafus and keep it real. :) For thrifty souvenirs: you can select a pebble from each State and write on the State name and the date you arrived, and keep them in a jar. One thought: Any way to add a pop-up railing to your rooftop for safety?
Postcards are great and they store compactly if you keep them many years. They are also easy to scan if you need to part with them later. Limit magnets to 5 or 10 special ones that might fit on your fridge or somewhere else vertical. Limit shot glasses to two very special ones. They take up more space! Great video!
You could have stopped at the Downstream Resort at exit #1 on Missouri highways. On the resort grounds is a point where Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri come together. You could have knocked out 3 states at one time, lol!
Get both start a scrap book with postcards and flyers. Magnet are useful and small. Shot glasses to easy to break and take up room. Thanks for sharing your day with me. You made my day 💕. You shouldn't be surprised when somone gives a friendly shout out your fans love you. Blessings and safe travels.
We do both! Each states Magnets on our camper oven hood, and then hang our postcards on strings in the camper for decor! Lightweight and you could scrapbook them later!
Just started watching your channel. You have very upbeat and welcoming personalities. Good work on the video as well. Having owned many RVs i would suggest at the very least that you glue down one piece of white rubber roofing material that covers the entire roof. It wont strengthen the roof structure but it will eliminate leaks that could be caused by walking or sitting on the roof. I have never had that system fail me. It completely eliminates the patching leaks battle that comes with older RVs. It flexes with the body. You could also glue wood on top of that to strengthen the roof deck for walking and sitting.
Maybe you decided to do post card table top. You could make a little table that folds for when you need an outside table, when you’re somewhere that doesn’t already have one… or your board game table with more people around. Remember the wine label table idea you liked? Like that! Also, Allison, your sunset cocktail looked pretty and sounds tasty, too!
In Europe, our road signs are usually convoluted pictures and diagrams that, by the time you've figured them out, it might be too late. At 1:42 it just tells it like it is!!!
You could totally mix your souvenirs up, get a few shot glasses, get a few magnets, get several postcards.. that way you kind of have a mix and you get to remind yourself of places you've traveled when you take a shot or look at the postcards or magnets
Love your videos. You do a great job of showing us the sights. I’m 86 years young and have to satisfy my wanderlust through your videos. I was busy raising children and then life just happens, so I’m thanking you 🙂❤️.
Magnet for sure. You could picture frame a metal sheet and put them all on it and when you settle down and stop traveling, you can look back and have fond memories of all the states you traveled to.
I am a magnet person! I always buy one in every city and country! Maybe buy a piece of funky metal and install it inside the rv. You don’t need to display all of them all the time. Maybe like top 15 and rotate them out. In the future if you ever get a forever home you can make a nice display of them all!
Stickers are fun to collect. Magnets on the outside of your rig could fly off and hit someone else’s car on the drive and postcards might just end up in a photo book that takes up space. Could put stickers on anything or make A collage out of them. They’re cheap and you can find some pretty cool ones in every place you go!
Magnets on a board inside ole Clementine could be pretty darn cool. You guys are such celebrities there, and as a longtime follower I think that’s so fun to see!
We collect postcards from our travels and write what we did in each place on the back! We keep them in one of the old style magic sticky page photo albums and add in photos from the trips too!
I've seen people implement stickers into their RVs for the 50 states. Some pretty cool ideas out there. We collect a patch for every National Park we go to and we want to figure out some way to implement that into our van. We also collect magnets to put on our fridge at home.
I’m a magnet person! We’ve made a little magnetic wall above our kitchen counter to keep them all in one place/organized, but out in the open to look at and reminisce on. Post cards are nice and light, but take up more space (to keep on display for example), don’t last as long, because… paper lol, and just don’t look/feel as cool
In my opinion you can buy Postcards from each state and then make a collage and frame it or build a small cabinet ( with Shelves) in your RV with glass windows and put Souvenires from each state there!!!
I just got back from Eureka Springs. It is such an amazing town with very friendly people. I want to go back when I get my RV. I loved New Dehli Cafe, SPring Cafe and the Basin Hotel. So fun. The Thorncrown Chapel is truly a spiritual experience.
We have the same type of Trolly’s in Louisville, KY. It’s super common for a bride and groom to rent those for their wedding party instead of a stretch limo. It’s much more fun and easier to move around inside the trolly.
You should collect postcards. For sake of space & weight I think postcards would be really neat & cute. You could put them all in a scrapbook or photo album at the end for safekeeping and space saving
I collect magnets for my van (Dareld) while traveling, but every once in a while I come across a cool postcard I can't live without. So I glue a sheet magnet to the back and have the best of both worlds! The same goes for stickers. Now I never have to leave them behind.
For souvenirs you should get something different in each state, especially if it is iconic to the state or weird! That way you don’t collect too many of one thing!
Go with the postcard but mail it "home" from each state so you can read your thoughts at the end of the trip. This is something I do from every country I go to. Enjoying your videos!!
If you want a more comfortable rooftop without the weight of a wooden, or synthetic wood, deck you can do it 2 ways. 1: They make a stick on padding you can adhear straight to the roof (watch/get hold of Kara and Nate for what they stuck down to their roof deck to make it more comfortable to sit on), or 2: get a sheet of Alucobond (5mm aluminum composite sheeting, or called panel cladding) and screw it down to the roof to strengthen it and spread out your weight across a wider area. You can then put the stick on padding on top of it for a bit of cushion, or get a sheet of the composite panels with a woodgrain print (or whatever pattern/look you like) to make it kinda look like a wood surface. The Alucobond is 2 thin sheets of aluminum with a synthetic material sandwiched between them for strength and lightness and is used for large buildings siding and signage/billboards. The Alucobond only weighs about 7 pounds per square meter so it won't be heavy like a wooden deck!
I love getting post cards because you can easily put them in a scrapbook. Honestly I collect both plus key chains. Another cool option would be collecting a unique wine or other bottle from each state.
I would get both the magnets and postcards. Both are fairly inexpensive and easy to store. Get a photo album to store the postcards and at the end of your trip you can look back at everywhere you've been. You can also write a memory of your time in each state on the back of the postcards.
Arkansas is super under rated and I hope it stays that way! haha we have family very very close to where you are and we love that area so much, can't wait to be out there again soon.. this time with our home on wheels!!
Get both magnets and postcards. The postcards can be put in a photo book to save space. Clementine would have a hard time containing 50 shot glasses or anything larger.
Get magnets for display AND postcards for a scrapbook. On the backside of each postcard make some bullet points for where you stayed, what you saw, where you ate, favorite memories and any other interesting facts. You can then easily flip through your custom 50-state postcard memory book years "down the road". What a keepsake! - Michelle from Massachusetts P.S. When you visit this state you should see coastal towns south of Boston such as Hingham, Cohassett, Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury to see the old sea captain mansions and quaint New England homes and of course you shouldn't miss the Plymouth waterfront. If you are here in the fall, also check out Route 2 for the foliage.
I collect postcards that can be mounted on a cute string with cute decorative clothes pins on the inside of the RV snd can be switched out and saved in an album. But I collect a certain style of postcards that all sort of are the same vintage style. My office is decorated with moss and postcards.
"see you on the road"....literally! People calling out "Endless Adventure"! and stopping you to say hi...so cool! I'll be putting Eureka Springs, AK on our list of places to see, the scenery is amazing!
I keep a camping journal of which I keep my memories and info. Just now started to collect post cards, but usually a sticker to put in my journal. I'll buy a magnet if I like the looks of it and stick them on the the stove hood. Won't stick to the fridge. Thanks for taking us along!
Camping journals are awesome. I usually keep a journal with a pocket in it where I can keep the campground maps and record which site we stayed in too. So cool to look back on and remember what we did and where we were!
When you come through Ohio you should visit the Airstream Heritage Museum and factor tours in Jackson Center. Seems like something that would interest you!
Pizza with cheese, sauce, bacon and egg - in Australia we call that an Aussie pizza. Very popular. Love the idea of cocktails on the roof of Clementine watching the sunset.Can't wait to see more of your trip!
Postcards you can craft into a couple of framed murals but magnets are cool also and you just need some pieces of flat Stainless steel mounted throughout your rv.
Magnets are the way to go! We have a bunch from our travels and they are easy the best for displaying and lots taking up too much space. Plus less chance of getting ruined.
I love magnets as that is what we do, and a metal board is easy to display them on. The postcards would be cute if you were writing down memories from the state on them. Then make a scrap book of them and a favorite photo or two. I also love the idea of the astroturf. Would look hilarious, but I have seen a few buildings here in Alaska with real moss on their roof for more insulation, and it always just looks different.
Fabulous videos you too. I’d take the postcards every time. You can write memories on the back and have cool photos on the front. Wishing you a fabulous day from England ❤️
Get postcards and make a nice board to hang them on. Then later you can possibly cut them into the shape of each state on the map. The magnets would fall off the place by the grill as you are driving down the road.
Welcome to Arkansas, Y'all! At 13:50, "pouring a little sparkling water", Mountain Valley main Headquarters, is 3 miles from my House, and very close to Hot Sorings National Park (City within National Park). When you first mention you were parking a night at highest point in Arkansas, I thought you would be staying at "Magazine Mountain" (it's Lodge, & RV/Campground). Eureka Springs is my favorite getaway for the weekend. And yes, You both, have subscribed following right here in AR. I actually found you guys, through the Traveling Beans. Funny, during these last 3 years, I have been watching all the UK Narrowboat TH-cam Vlogs. After awhile, watching everyone go up & down same canals, began to get boring. Few couple s, also had a separate van vlog channel. So I started to watch more nomad van vlogs and less narrowboat vlogs.(I use to live on narrowboat in Amsterdam -another life time ago). I use to collect shot glasses, on my many travels, to give to my son. One day he told me, he doesn't know what to do with all the shot glasses I picked up. He said they stay wrapped up in a box. They're moved from one house to the next. I also collect magnets too. I have a Eureka Springs Magnet on my frig, right next to Lake Tahoe Magnet (used lived there too, next to my brother's house). Magnets are small, and light weight. I saw some conversion vans, with collection of magnets, above the sliding door! Fun watching you both ride the trolley and walk through Basin Spring PARK! (Posted from HSV,AR)💚🌿🌲🦋💙👍🌻
Get both. Magnets have so many uses, but post cards at the end of the trip could be used to decoupage a table top 😁
I was gonna say get the magnet and shot glass lol. A shot glass you could always use
I forgot to compliment the rad scratch map they have procured ~~ I always thought to do a map but I also love scratching things so this is GOLD 💖
@@billjones5024 50 is a lot of shot glasses....
I guess you could could make a funky epoxy table with magnets set into it too which could be pretty cool 🤔

I agree 👍 💯
Florida has really cool trolleys on the gulf coast with a inside air conditioned section and an outside area in the back they’re very cool!
Magnets will eventually weigh you down. Post cards, if you write a brief note about your experience at the location AND put them in a dedicated box.
I suggest stickers to place somewhere on the vehicle.
Inside a cabinet door, outer access door.
Alternative, piece of heavy clear film, cut to the interior size of a window. Place stickers on the film. Easy to display, take down when you want, keep if/when you have a new adventure vehicle.
We love being underrated 😁. Arkansas is amazing. I know several spots here that would blow your mind with natural beauty.
Another possibility for a collection are enamel pins. You can get a sheet of thick corkboard and stick them into it for display. Might work better even than magnets if you don't have a lot of ferrous metal surfaces to put them on.
Guys face it, you have achieved celebrity status! Enjoying your adventures. Stay safe.

I voted magnets, but I like this idea!
I think you should collect postcards. Then you can right on the back your favorite memory and put them in an album. I collect Christmas ornaments from wherever we go.
I get ornaments at special places, too! But…I’ve been told I “have a problem” with Christmas decorations so I choose to lean into it.
In the UK, those magnets are called 'Fridge Magnets' because they stick to the metal door face of the fridge, though any ferrous surface would do. I'd go with the magnets anyway.

Love seeing ppl recognize you! Can't wait to see Ruby and Clementine in MO!

Eureka Springs looks absolutelly stunning! I would love to go there.
I proposed to my lovely wife in Eureka Springs 21 years ago. We're both born and raised in Arkansas and that town is one of our favorites.
Is that roof rated for load-bearing? I'd be worried about stressing it out and springing little leaks in the fall. Great film anyhow, you're certainly selling the RV lifestyle. I'm very impressed with how the rig is handling those mountain roads and Eureka looks like a lovely town to visit. The cocktail menu needs a bit of work!
It will leak now. It only takes once. You have to lay down plywood or something to protect it while fixing something. Dang😳😣
no matter what drinking on a roof without a railing, is dangerous.
i have seen it go wrong for a pregnant woman that was not drunk, she dident know on leg from the chair was over the side when she sat down.
if it can´t stand the weight, then it will probetly start to leek in the top, if you dont fall through the roof
Eureka Springs is epic! Such a fun quirky town. It’s a MUST SEE! Definitely do tour the famous historic Crescent Hotel, supposedly haunted and was featured on one of those ghost hunting Tv shows.

Just started watching your channel. You have very upbeat and welcoming personalities. Good work on the video as well.

It wont strengthen the roof structure but it will eliminate leaks that could be caused by walking or sitting on the roof. I have never had that system fail me. It completely eliminates the patching leaks battle that comes with older RVs. It flexes with the body. You could also glue wood on top of that to strengthen the roof deck for walking and sitting.

In Europe, our road signs are usually convoluted pictures and diagrams that, by the time you've figured them out, it might be too late.
At 1:42 it just tells it like it is!!!
We collect Christmas ornaments from everywhere we go. It’s so fun remembering all the awesome trips we’ve been on when we put the tree up each year.

Stickers are fun to collect. Magnets on the outside of your rig could fly off and hit someone else’s car on the drive and postcards might just end up in a photo book that takes up space.
Could put stickers on anything or make
A collage out of them. They’re cheap and you can find some pretty cool ones in every place you go!
Definitely both. Post-card and magnet from every state would be an epic collection.
My vote is for magnets. Also if you replace/glue a stronger earth magnet to it you won't have to worry about them falling.
You guys are awesome 48 to go. I am sure Emma and her husband are watching you guys. Stay safe
Magnets on a board inside ole Clementine could be pretty darn cool. You guys are such celebrities there, and as a longtime follower I think that’s so fun to see!

Put some sheet metal behind the scratch off map and the magnet could go on the state and it won't take up any more space. Just a thought lol.
Ohhh that'd be a fun way to display the magnets!
@@Theendlessadventure if you got magnets the shape of the states you could build a second map on the back.
You can make a book out of all the post cards and write your memories of the location on the back. Then bind them and use it as a memoir.
I collect pins for each state I go to - love it. Small, compact, and fun to display on a backpack, corkboard, etc.
How awesome! My husband and I stayed at that RV Park 2 years ago! We have a Mercedes Sprinter Era 170 van. We loved our time there ❤️
You should collect postcards. For sake of space & weight I think postcards would be really neat & cute. You could put them all in a scrapbook or photo album at the end for safekeeping and space saving
I was rewatching some of your older videos and I was wondering if you could do a top 5 places to see or top 5 foods to eat 😀❤
I vote magnets, you can always add a wooden frame with metal to place the magnets and we'll be able to see them 😀
I collect magnets for my van (Dareld) while traveling, but every once in a while I come across a cool postcard I can't live without. So I glue a sheet magnet to the back and have the best of both worlds! The same goes for stickers. Now I never have to leave them behind.
For souvenirs you should get something different in each state, especially if it is iconic to the state or weird! That way you don’t collect too many of one thing!
That breakfast pizza looked good. I'm a bit worried you are sitting too close to the edge of that roof.
Pressed pennies! A very small souvenir and half the fun is finding the pressing machines 😄
Go with the postcard but mail it "home" from each state so you can read your thoughts at the end of the trip. This is something I do from every country I go to. Enjoying your videos!!
Arkansas has a TON of beautiful spots! Cheers!
It does! Especially out west. We always look forward to driving/stopping through 😍
You two are America's most favorite couple!! Mike in Oregon
Really nice to see a couple enjoying themselves! After seeing this it made me feel like visiting Eureka Springs again.
Definitely the magnets! You can display them in a picture frame after your adventure! 😊
If you want a more comfortable rooftop without the weight of a wooden, or synthetic wood, deck you can do it 2 ways. 1: They make a stick on padding you can adhear straight to the roof (watch/get hold of Kara and Nate for what they stuck down to their roof deck to make it more comfortable to sit on), or 2: get a sheet of Alucobond (5mm aluminum composite sheeting, or called panel cladding) and screw it down to the roof to strengthen it and spread out your weight across a wider area.

The Alucobond is 2 thin sheets of aluminum with a synthetic material sandwiched between them for strength and lightness and is used for large buildings siding and signage/billboards. The Alucobond only weighs about 7 pounds per square meter so it won't be heavy like a wooden deck!
I love getting post cards because you can easily put them in a scrapbook. Honestly I collect both plus key chains. Another cool option would be collecting a unique wine or other bottle from each state.
So happy to see you guys finally on the road. Now we’re gonna watch the video 🚐❤️
Magnets are nice. You could always put up a metal wall inside the RV to attach all the magnets onto.
Looks wonderful but you didn't show us any springs. Hopefully you have more videos of beautiful Arkansas.
I'm sure ya'll are going to run into a LOT of fans during this trip!
I would get both the magnets and postcards. Both are fairly inexpensive and easy to store. Get a photo album to store the postcards and at the end of your trip you can look back at everywhere you've been. You can also write a memory of your time in each state on the back of the postcards.
Magnets - we get one from each holiday and not only do they add a bit of cheese to our boring fridge they bring back great memories every day!!
Arkansas is super under rated and I hope it stays that way! haha we have family very very close to where you are and we love that area so much, can't wait to be out there again soon.. this time with our home on wheels!!
I love collecting postcards bc you can display them and store them easily
I have magnetic states that are like a rubber material and are shaped like the state. Collect all and you can place the entire US on your fridge
OMG I am so doing this!
That's definitely a fun way to get a souvenir AND map our your travels 👍
Stickers if you can find them for souvenirs. Less likely to fall off if you put them in the grill area. Lighter then magnets too
Postcards. Easy to organize in an album along with a story or two and you can add a sleeve to pocket a CD about the state.
Get both magnets and postcards. The postcards can be put in a photo book to save space. Clementine would have a hard time containing 50 shot glasses or anything larger.
Get magnets for display AND postcards for a scrapbook. On the backside of each postcard make some bullet points for where you stayed, what you saw, where you ate, favorite memories and any other interesting facts.

P.S. When you visit this state you should see coastal towns south of Boston such as Hingham, Cohassett, Scituate, Marshfield and Duxbury to see the old sea captain mansions and quaint New England homes and of course you shouldn't miss the Plymouth waterfront. If you are here in the fall, also check out Route 2 for the foliage.
Go for hat pins. Then get a corkboard and a new map and put the hat pins on each state.
I collect postcards that can be mounted on a cute string with cute decorative clothes pins on the inside of the RV snd can be switched out and saved in an album. But I collect a certain style of postcards that all sort of are the same vintage style. My office is decorated with moss and postcards.
"see you on the road"....literally! People calling out "Endless Adventure"! and stopping you to say hi...so cool! I'll be putting Eureka Springs, AK on our list of places to see, the scenery is amazing!
I keep a camping journal of which I keep my memories and info. Just now started to collect post cards, but usually a sticker to put in my journal. I'll buy a magnet if I like the looks of it and stick them on the the stove hood. Won't stick to the fridge. Thanks for taking us along!
Camping journals are awesome. I usually keep a journal with a pocket in it where I can keep the campground maps and record which site we stayed in too. So cool to look back on and remember what we did and where we were!
When you come through Ohio you should visit the Airstream Heritage Museum and factor tours in Jackson Center. Seems like something that would interest you!
I love these little trolleys. I’ll take one every time!
Pizza with cheese, sauce, bacon and egg - in Australia we call that an Aussie pizza. Very popular. Love the idea of cocktails on the roof of Clementine watching the sunset.Can't wait to see more of your trip!
Love Eureka Springs!! My husband and I got married there in 2017. We stayed for a week and by the time we left, people were calling us out by name.
Postcards you can craft into a couple of framed murals but magnets are cool also and you just need some pieces of flat Stainless steel mounted throughout your rv.
I’ve collected postcards since I was in high school and now have many of them framed in interesting collages…..they are nice souvenirs.
That was so much FUN! You two chillin' on the roof!! Love that new animation, too!
I loved this too much! "...Some chunks of ice...or cubes if you have em." *bloop* Goes the chunk of ice. Lol. Too cute!
Magnets are the way to go! We have a bunch from our travels and they are easy the best for displaying and lots taking up too much space. Plus less chance of getting ruined.
I love magnets as that is what we do, and a metal board is easy to display them on. The postcards would be cute if you were writing down memories from the state on them. Then make a scrap book of them and a favorite photo or two.
I also love the idea of the astroturf. Would look hilarious, but I have seen a few buildings here in Alaska with real moss on their roof for more insulation, and it always just looks different.
Fabulous videos you too. I’d take the postcards every time. You can write memories on the back and have cool photos on the front. Wishing you a fabulous day from England ❤️
Great video....Eureka springs is a great place. Keep up the good work
Thanks! We love it there...such a hidden gem! 😍
You should absolutely get postcards. You can keep themin a binder and end up with a neat coffee table book.
I collect magnets! My fridge is covered with magnets from places I have been & I love it.
Get postcards and make a nice board to hang them on. Then later you can possibly cut them into the shape of each state on the map.
The magnets would fall off the place by the grill as you are driving down the road.
Love ya'll running into viewers along the way!
Another brilliant video guys. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you for giving my state a positive review. You’re welcome back anytime.
Welcome to Arkansas, Y'all!
At 13:50, "pouring a little sparkling water", Mountain Valley main Headquarters, is 3 miles from my House, and very close to Hot Sorings National Park (City within National Park). When you first mention you were parking a night at highest point in Arkansas, I thought you would be staying at "Magazine Mountain" (it's Lodge, & RV/Campground).
Eureka Springs is my favorite getaway for the weekend. And yes, You both, have subscribed following right here in AR. I actually found you guys, through the Traveling Beans. Funny, during these last 3 years, I have been watching all the UK Narrowboat TH-cam Vlogs. After awhile, watching everyone go up & down same canals, began to get boring. Few couple s, also had a separate van vlog channel. So I started to watch more nomad van vlogs and less narrowboat vlogs.(I use to live on narrowboat in Amsterdam -another life time ago).
I use to collect shot glasses, on my many travels, to give to my son. One day he told me, he doesn't know what to do with all the shot glasses I picked up. He said they stay wrapped up in a box. They're moved from one house to the next. I also collect magnets too. I have a Eureka Springs Magnet on my frig, right next to Lake Tahoe Magnet (used lived there too, next to my brother's house). Magnets are small, and light weight. I saw some conversion vans, with collection of magnets, above the sliding door! Fun watching you both ride the trolley and walk through Basin Spring PARK!

I say go for both! But if they have little enamel pins, those would be way cool. Small and you can set up a little board to display them!
