Big Spring

We took a trip South of  here not too long ago....saw a lot of pretty scenery and sock monkey loved Big Spring!  someone put pumpkins  around this sign, and then the road across the way was lined with pumpkins!

 

Sock Monkey Adventures

Just a few pictures of sock monkey's adventures from the trip..

Sock Monkey at the River

Sock Monkey enjoyed some time at the cabin this weekend....He liked the campfire!

He enjoyed the view!

Pretty quiet in the sandpile without the grandkids there..

Checking out the paw paws

Being careful not to fall off the deck.

The table for the deck got  a new top this year!

Random Pictures

These are the last pictures from our trip...I took this picture of the water tower because it reminded me of Holbrook's!

I believe this was in Hot Springs

We stopped at this one rest stop and stick bugs were everywhere on the building!  like every three inches there would be a stick bug!

I like the rock cut to the shape of Arkansas!

The picture doesn't really show it, but this building was entirely covered with rocks!

Sock Monkey making friends...

cute sign

We had a good time on our trip!

Buffalo River

We stopped by a small park on the Buffalo River....Such a pretty place! 

It looked like some sort of Spanish Moss in some of the trees on the bluff....didn't know it grew that far North

scenic bridge!

Such interesting driftwood!

Sock Monkey wanted to get on that rope swing! I actually started wading out there to put/tie him on it for a picture, but didn't want to get my shorts wet...would have been funny though!

Sure was a pretty place and the water was so nice. We are sure this is a very busy place during the Summer!

Fifth Principal Meridian

We stopped by this place on our trip...The Fifth Principal Meridian...

Sock Monkey said it was in a swamp!

Loved getting a picture of this owl!

This park was nicely done....lots of informative signs and a well-constructed walkway across to swamp to the monument.

Sock Monkey was impressed

Here  it is! I am married to a land surveyor and he thought this was pretty neat....

It was so quiet down in the swamp...we could hear the Water Tupelo berry things falling into the water...neat place

Monkey praising the monument

Frog we saw once we got back to the parking lot..

I think these were the Southern version of our Surprise Lillies

We saw a Cottonmouth on the road..he didn't move either...just laid there!

This was a neat place and I am glad we went. We are also planning on visiting the Sixth Principal Meridian! Which means we'll head on out farther West too and visit our Nebraska people!
