Both of us are pretty awful when it comes to directions--no problem, here, my phone's GPS (Kyocera Rise, Virgin Mobile, Android 4) leads the way. (We also had 2 Garmin Nuvi 1200 GPS units on-hand as well.) It had us go through OK north "straddling" ARK mostly via 259, all the way to Poteau OK, then east on 271. http://y.ahoo.it/Qep0iTKs (20130201_163649_nl_epm1)
