A Few Days in Fayetteville, Arkansas

 A Few Days in Fayetteville, Arkansas

With the very late arrival of Fall to this part of North Texas- it was still in the high 80s and even 90s , we decided to take a short road trip to the Northern Mountains of Arkansas. Surely the leaves would be changing there. We were not disappointed as in the high mountains the leaves were beautiful even though the weather continued to be still sunny and warm.It was worth the 7hour car trip it had taken us to get there to see it.

But what Mike really enjoyed were the winding lanes with steep hills and curves through the mountains around Boston, AK. You approach the mountains through the foothills  and then quickly you start to climb until you are on many small roads surrounded by the forest of trees,all blazing with color. From time to time you catch a glimpse of a spectacular view as you reach the top of one mountain and look over the valley to the mountains on the other side. Unfortunately there are not many places where you can pull over to the side of the road or overlooks to appreciate the views. That would have been really nice.

We also found a small lake just outside the college town of Fayetteville which was just so beautiful and peaceful. No one else was there and we could take photos and  walk on the boardwalks through the forested areas and enjoy our time.

I tried out my new Ipad air video maker on this one. Not sure what I was doing and it was difficult to actually see on the screen but here it is.

I can't make it play here. Oh well . I guess I did something wrong.
