Road Less Traveled

We had a wonderful four wheeling experience in Arkansas this year. We stayed three days at Wolf Pen Gap in the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas. That is one of my favorite National parks in the States. It is so natural and wild, while at the same time, it has everything you could desire. It makes me so proud just to be an American in this beautiful place, and I can't imagine anyone else feeling any different. We rode our Polaris Ranger over rugged and rocky hills, and enjoyed the most breath taking scenery possible. We took paths specially marked and set up for adventurous four wheelers. Some paths were fairly easy to drive and others were hazardous at best, but all took us to wonderful places. We did get off the marked paths, on a road that must have been there for logging. The woods were new and close packed, but this road lacked the quick turns and vertical hills we were on. We realized this was not part of the trails, but wondered what we would see ahead. We were not prepared for the sight of random dump sites, with trailer siding, cabinets, and even a toilet. I felt sick to think Americans could think so little of such a gorgeous place in our country. They should be deported..maybe to the panhandle.

I will be computerless

This next Wednesday, we leave for some serious four wheeling in Arkansas. We will be staying in a remote cabin for four days, without computer accessibility, I am sure. I know it will be fun riding and exploring, but I may suffer from computer withdrawal. I will probably take my computer and just look at the pictures I have stored if we get rained in. I am not a big fan of TV. Cheri and Dawayne went there, and brought back some pretty pictures, but mountains don't change very often, so it will be a challenge finding something different to capture. I will bring back rocks.
