An Arkansas Side Trip

So this morning neither of us could decide what we wanted to do. About noon, we decided to head south and see what Harrison, AR had to offer. Our first stop was a mall JC Penny store and after finding a new vest for me, we headed south to check out the "Jasper Disaster" route. It claims to be only 56 miles long but has over 200 curves; it was fun! We took hiway 7 out of Harrison towards Jasper and eventually wound around the curves, hit hiway 43 and ended up back in Harrison.

The roads were varied, but all picturesque.

I couldn't resist some of the buildings "along the side roads".

Hey, Janet, this was a post office once upon a time.

The streams and creeks were plentiful and deep and clean. We saw trout swimming around in this one.

The trees are turning everywhere you look; must be near peak in this area.

Much of the trail on which we drove was in the Buffalo National River Park; neither of us knew this park even existed before today.

Pictures just don't capture the beauty of the hilltops.

This store tells the tale of times gone by...

In Boxley Valley, we saw elk... but this one was "shot" in a museum.

David, this looks like a rocker that might go nicely in your yard.

And then it was time to be heading home... back to Treasure Lake RV Resort in Branson.
