Please join us on Monday, the 16th of September, as we celebrate the release of our new , by taking part in our event – Cruising Arkansas! Enjoy the scenic beauty, wildlife, and incredible history of the Natural State while contributing to its impressive economy of agriculture, forestry and transport logistics.
We challenge our #BestCommunityEver to achieve the community goal of driving 125,000,000 miles (201,168,000 km) while delivering cargo to or from any city in Arkansas.
While you are #CruisingArkansas enjoying the beautiful locations it has to offer, you’ll also have the chance to discover some hidden gems found only on unmarked roads that are not visible on the map. There are also stunning water bodies to visit such as Lake Chicot, Lake Dardanelle, and Norfork Lake, not to mention the Arkansas, Mississippi, and White Rivers. The Natural State is also the home of the white-tailed deer, and northern mockingbird, and boasts the beautiful apple blossom as its state flower since in 1901 it was one of the largest apple producers in the United States.
As you participate in the Natural state’s economy, you’ll be able to help out in some of its main industries such as forestry, agriculture and logistics, with a new river port and airport hub to visit and a new sawmill, paper and steel mills deliver to.
And, during your travels, you can look forward to many spectacular views and highlights such as:
- Pine Bluff Lock & Dam 4, impressive Arkansas River lock and dam engineering
- Hot Springs, a beautiful resort city, famous for its naturally heated springs and bath houses
- Arkansas Nuclear One, a nuclear power plant located on Lake Dardanelle
- Fort Smith, a historic city established as a western frontier military post in 1817
As with past cruising events, you can use your own trailer and experience all these in the external market!
Arkansas DLC has 10 terrific new cities to explore, and we’re offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver a job to or from all of them. All jobs for the event need to be 100 miles each (161 km) or more.
Come along with us and haul through incredible landscapes of mountains, forests, hot springs and lakes. Let’s cruise Arkansas and enjoy the ride, it will be an awesome one!
