This mini-adventure is guided by Nichole, mom to two incredible adventurers, an older boy and a younger girl, on their seventh year of homeschooling. She has been married to her best friend for fifteen years and they share a mutual love for the outdoors. An Iowan native now living in the south, she is happy to claim Arkansas as home. She is a wanderlust (and coffee) fueled, fearless, road tripper who has been known to take off for epic adventures at a moments notice. Hiking and camping (of the backpacking variety) and crystal digging are a few of their favorite family activities. You can find her in the woods somewhere, probably up a creek, and jumping off waterfalls.

The Old Guys Bike Group, ranging in age from 71 to 84, regularly gather to ride paved trails. This route is around 11.5 miles one way, but there are many access points where you can start a ride, walk or run as long or short as you like. With the exception of one stop at Old Main, this entire route is paved and off-street. The entire route is lighted and may be ridden at night. Most street crossings are by bridge or underpass - the rare street crossings are well-marked and signaled.

This adventure is hosted by Caitlin Wood, who describes herself as a "Tarot reader, astrologer, weirdo aunt located in Fayetteville, Arkansas." The route highlights a tucked-away coffeeshop connected to a trail along a creek, a wheelchair-accessible morning stroll surrounded by nature but centrally located in Fayetteville. Caitlin tops off the tour with a visit to a shop unique to Fayetteville - a farm-to-bottle syrup maker.

Join Bobbie of Reclaiming Wonders and her kids as they explore things to do in Fayetteville that are fun for kids AND parents. Not every town's library is a must-see, but our adventurers found inspiring spaces and lots of hands-on activities to love. Follow them to the skate park and splash pad, then a stop for everyone's favorite - pasta! For some down time, our adventurers plug in to Arcadia, home to limitless vintage videogames - and a quiet coffeeshop and boutique shopping for mom or dad across the way.

Today's Tag Along adventure comes from Forrest Addison Roverts and is all about the murals in Fayetteville! All around the NWA area, you'll find buildings decorated with murals by local artists. Most of these can be found in the downtown sections of the cities. Tap the Explore button for an interactive map that will take you on the recommended route. Murals of Fayetteville, Arkansas Author: Forrest Addison Roverts Of the four cities we visited to explore murals, Fayetteville would have to be our favorite. All along Dickson St. and surrounding areas, you'll find great food and other shops to check out. Not to mention A LOT of really cool murals, but our favorite thing to do while visiting here was rent out the electric scooters lol! Find somewhere to park and walk to just about any corner to find an assortment of electric vehicles you can rent and then just cruise all around the downtown area. I will say that if you choose to ride an electric scooter, get the Spin one. They are a good bit faster than VEO and ride up hills a lot easier. EXPLORE Stop 1: Dickson Street Bookshop To start with, here is a mural that can be found on the side of Dickson Street Books in downtown Fayetteville, AR. The best time to view this mural would be before 10am. One the store opens, there are a lot more cars parked along the street. Stop 2: Kith and Kin This next one can be found on the side of Kith and Kin Hair Co. a short drive north of downtown Fayetteville. This is probably one that can be difficult to take the electric scooter to mainly due to traffic. Stop 3: B-Unlimited You'll find two murals on the building of B-Unlimited. One is right out front and the "Fayetteville Loves You" mural is along the side of the building. Stop 4: Matt Miller Mural While you're crusin' on a scooter through downtown Fayetteville, this one is an easy one to swing by and check out. Found pretty much in the heart of downtown Fayetteville. Stop 5: Ravens Next to many great shops and local eateries on Dickson St., you'll find the Ravens mural. This area of Dickson St as well as the parking lot next to this mural can get busy to just be cautious while you're out exploring this one. Stop 6: Harvesting the Winds of Change Mural Found on the side of Grub's in downtown Fayetteville, "Harvesting the Winds of Change" was one of the coolest and possibly my favorite mural. A little fun fact for you: Though you'll find Grub's in multiple cities now, Grub's originally started in Fayetteville, AR. Stop 7: Prelude Breakfast Bar While you're on the scavenge hunt for the amazing murals spread across the downtown Fayetteville area, stop in Prelude Breakfast Bar for some VERY tasty food! Breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this place will certainly satisfy your appetite. Recommended to us was the omelets and pancake flight so I am passing along that same recommendation to you! :) var initGallery = true; var masonry_category_id= 66; var masonry_hash = window.location.hash; masonry_hash = masonry_hash.replace('#',''); var masonry_cat_id_click= ''; if (masonry_hash !== '') { var hasha = masonry_hash.split('-'); var re = new RegExp("^([0-9]+)$"); var hash_category_id = hasha[0]; if (!re.test(hash_category_id)) { hash_category_id = 0;} if(hash_category_id) {initGallery = false; } } Welcome to our Tag Along series!
