Sometimes you just have to explore by road and highway. Thursday afternoon I drove north past Greers Ferry to Mountain View to North Sylamore Creek and then to Mountain Home. Turning east I passed through Yellville and Harrison and Ponca and Clarksville and Ozark. Southward to Waldron where I spent the night at Lake Hinkle and Little Pines Recreation Area. Then I had breakfast in Mena before moving back west through the Ouachita Mountains. A stop was made at Shady Lake and then homeward past Hot Springs I went.
