I am a nature lover and self-proclaimed foodie wrapped in one package. In my previous life, I was an Accountant, but numbers were boring and writing is the only thing that fuels my soul. So, I write because it's my freedom...it brings me joy. When I'm not writing dope articles for OnlyInYourState, I am writing and editing articles for my online blog on Medium.com. Or, when I get the chance, I am off on a trip with my family chasing waterfalls, or simply exploring the great outdoors. My mantra is to always find the best part of every day and bask in it.
You might know Cave City for its watermelon festival and for having the sweetest watermelons in the state. But did you know that there is a cave in Cave City…which obviously explains its name. Moreover, the Crystal River Tourist Camp, the oldest motor court in Arkansas, was built above the cave. For over 20 years, both the cave and motor court were closed until recently when the owners decided to open them to the public for tours. Read on to learn more about how this once-abandoned attraction in Arkansas is finally making a huge comeback.
