Jim, that is one of my favorite spots. (Mountain Home) Last year while camping at Blanchard Springs I had a flat on the P car. Asked some locals at the cafe where a tire shop was. They directed me to a shop run by two guys in MH. I pull in with TX plates on a red Porsche expecting to get Deliveranced. The dudes looked me up and down, told me to wait a bit. I get set for wait I expect to be a long wait. Instead they pulled the car out of the garage that they were presently working on and proceed to pull the screw that was stuck in my tire. A plug and 15 minutes later we are all standing around shooting the breeze about the weather, cars, girls, whatever. Finally I ask the question that I've been dreading. "How much do you want for the repair/" The boss takes a long drag on his cigarette and replies. "That will be two dollars."
Holy shiite I nearly fell over from shock. I gave them a ten and thanked them for the excellent service and told them the beer was on me tonite.
I may stop back in there just to say hello on this next trip.
Nice part of the country.
