Few Americans know much, if anything, about the Ozarks, where Jaya and Joshua resettle in my novel Nearly Canaan.
Here are some driving times to points from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to major cities.

Frankly, the Ozarks is more isolated than I’d thought. I’m surprised that its center is almost as far from New Orleans as it is from Chicago or that it’s halfway between St. Louis and Dallas. Looks like a long way to anywhere, actually.
How long does it take you to get to a major destination?

Great post 😁
Thanks! If we can’t go places in person these days, at least we can check them out this way, right?
The places I love to explore the most are the places right in my own backyard, no matter the location of my backyard.
Yes, and too many folks overlook them!
