Virginia, this is a place near and dear! I've spent many happy hours at this location in my lifetime. It's one of the places we've all gone to over the years and was one of the inspirations for doing what we do.
The old mine is only a part of the wonder of this particular spot in Izard. Just upstream from the mine is a spring coming out of a cave high up in a draw. Downstream a few hundred yards is the White River...some spectacular views from the bluffs above the R/R tracks.
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.
