Don’t EVER speed through Clinton, Ar either…
EVER.
You HAVE to go through Clinton, Arkansas if you plan to go to Branson, Mo.

I was stopped THREE different times, and two times, I was never going more than 3 mph over the speed limit.
On third time, I was going 10 mph under the speed limit, and was stopped … AGAIN. I was told I was “going too slow, and ‘impeding’ traffic”. When I asked “What traffic, (I was the ONLY vehicle on the road), he wrote another ticket for “Insubordination to a law enforcement officer”.
I drove back from Branson, Mo through Hwy 7 at Harrison, which is a twisting pig trail, and added an extra TWO hours.
ALL of Highway 65 from Conway to Harrison is nothing more than a route of extortion. It is the ONLY convenient route to Branson without having to go way out of the way, and the crooked cops know it.
