Ozark National Forest Day 8 Mile 887

After leaving Memphis I drove a few hours to the west into Northern Arkansas. I passed through many small towns and pretty vast stretches of rural lands. A lot of these towns look pretty beat down and there haven't been any upgrades to the cities or buildings in decades. These are hill towns and they are full of hill people... the kind of people that never leave the county where they were born.

Either way, I stayed in a nice campground in the Ozark National Forrest. The campground was called Blanchard Springs and was very quiet and secluded. In some of my previous posts I talked about how small the town was and how I was having such a hard time getting Internet access out in the woods.

Check out the video to see all that the campgrounds had to offer. I also went on a nice long half-day horse ride in the hills. It was pretty cool and for a while we ever rode the horse right down the middle of a pretty big creek. It was cool, but the weather was bad that day so no photos. : (
