Highway 7

The schedule is building with many trips to come. Today was a day filled with great driving weather and wide open spaces, well road space for my car to travel. As I headed to Jasper, Arkansas the interstate laid out plenty of room. However the interstate does
not always lead to one's destination. Highway 7 swerves and curves around the Ozark Mountains. I am going to let you in on a secret, it is hard to drive and watch the scenery. I was warned about Highway 7, but did not take heed till the highway became a curvy, mountainous road. At two points of the journey, we were shown the road became an one lane highway.


















If you want a place to get away from the city or to take in a gander head into the Ozark Mountains. In the middle of the mountains, Jasper is a town filled with many adventures from hiking up mountains, floating down the river, exploring discovered caves, and looking for the newest antiques. Log Cabins, Bed & Breakfast inns, and hotels provide a quite get-a-way for the stay. The Buffalo River flows through and creates great floating opportunities, from what I hear. Here are a few pictures I have from today's trip. Enjoy.

On The Road Again

In my line of work, I travel around Arkansas meeting people, people from a city background to people who live in wide open spaces. The past few months my journey has crossed from the northwest and north central parts of Arkansas to Pine Bluff. As the road trips continue, stories and the greatest hole in the wall places will emerge. Hopefully, this space becomes ideas for place to see, eat, and do around Arkansas along with a log of my personal journey through words and pictures. Stay turned for the adventure to come.
