Chamber of the Morning Sun
Another cave that...to our knowledge...has no name. On Saturday, we visited a cave owned by a friend who has allowed us to feature other sites he owns on the blog. This cave is at the base of a bluff along the Sylamore Road. We have dubbed it "Chamber of the Morning Sun" until we are made aware of any other name for it. The reason we have named it "The Chamber of the Sun" is because on Sunday, when we returned to explore the cave further, upon entering we noticed that the sun was in direct line with the opening and a ray of light illuminated the cave floor some 20-30feet below. The intense light illuminated the whole room. It was interesting to watch the patch of light slowly move across the cave floor.
I know that this is a common claim people make around the world, but to me the Ozarks of Arkansas truly is God's Country! This site will be dedicated to showing anyone interested--Sunday motorists to fair-weather cyclists--some of the hidden treasures in the county they drive through.
Over the past several years, with the explosion of the popularity of custom car-clubs and motorcycle enthusiasts, Izard county has seen a parade of people from outside the area coming to enjoy the panoramic views from the comfort of their chosen mode of pleasurable transportation. Many, I'm absolutely sure, drive by sights that are easily accesible and not far off the highway never even knowing those sights are there. This blog will give anyone searching for information before they visit the area a way to know where some of those places are.
