Mtn. View, Batesville, Jacksonport, Arkansas


After spending 10 days in Hot Springs it was time to move on again. So we went north into the Ozark Mountains and joined the WINS at Sylamore Creek Campground in Mtn. View, AR. We spent one week there hiking, fishing, enjoying country music on the square, visiting the Ozark Folk Center, exploring the cave at Blanchard Springs and the spring of the same name. This was a 4 mile hike with an overlook high above the White River on the Sylamore Bike Trail. More photos.


Not far from Mtn. View is the Mark Martin Ford Dealership in Batesville where the NASCAR driver also has a museum and many of his old race cars displayed. It was an interesting stop along the backroads of Arkansas. More photos.


We spent a night at the state park in Jacksonport, AR near Newport. We had a nice campsite on the White River in a serene setting. We ran lots of errands in town before heading for Alabama on April 26, 2006. More photos.
