Forty-Four and Pilot Knob
Along Highway 56 on the bank of Piney Creek stands the remains of an old community known as Forty-Four...a roadside ghosttown. Another ghosttown in the area is Lunenburg...originally known as Rocky Bayou. We'll bring you a look at that old community sometime soon. Read Snowed-Under at the EIC Journal!

My wife grew up in 44 and tells me great stories of going across the road to Lonnie's store.
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.

Oh and my greatgrandparents owned the Knob, where I spent many a joyful Easter Sunday as a child.
