This trip is all about seeing the countryside and staying off the interstates as much as possible.  We started out by going to Mt. Eagle and then getting off I-24  and dropping down to US 64 and taking it all the way across the state to Memphis.

We haven't taken very many pictures so far.  Most of what we have seen has been agricultural in nature, and while I find it interesting, it generally doesn't make great photos.  We traveled up the eastern side of Arkansas a little ways north of Memphis and then turned west.  As far as we could see in any direction, for miles and miles were fields in various stages of development as well as some that had been harvested.  I would say that in the northeastern part of Arkansas. the crops we saw were about 40% soybeans, another 40% were rice and the balance was cotton, corn and hay. 

We have seen storage bins like these in Arkansas and Kansas. They are typically used for the storage of soybeans, corn and wheat.

  
We have also seen grain elevators similar to this one in Argonia, Kansas.  Some appear to be owned by a co-op such as this and some have corporate names on them.  We have seen some with the name Bunge which is a company that McKee purchases soybean oil from.

As we got over toward the northwestern part of Arkansas the Ozark Mountains came into view.  This shot was taken from an overlook just south of Harrison Arkansas.  This area looks very much like some places we have been in Tennessee and Texas.

This picture I took for my Dad.  He loves old Nash's and this one looks pretty good.  It has spotlights on the windshield posts and a red light and siren on the right front fender so I am guessing it was used by law enforcement at some time in the past.

This is the Thorn Crown Chapel which is located just west of Eureka Springs, Arkansas.  It was completed in 1980 and is open to visitors year around.  It is set in the woods on the side of a hill and provides a place to relax, meditate and appreciate the beautiful surroundings.  The structure is almost completely glass with just enough wood and steel to hold everything in place.

This is the view from inside the chapel.  The chapel can be reserved for weddings and other special events.  There is also a worship center on the same property which is available for special services.

We've got a stowaway on this trip.  I refer to him as Bee Hind since he's a bee and he's well, bringing up the rear!
