Calico Rock Ghost Town
Last Saturday, Jim and I went to Calico Rock to look for an old two-story schoolhouse he was told about. We didn't find the school...but we did get some great shots and video from the old part of town...known today as "America's Only Living Ghost-Town".
Afterward, we drove up to Baxter County then back to Calico Rock through Stone County along the Culp Road.

As a kid growing up in calico rock I can remember acouple of lod bootlegers that ived in old town. Might of even spent alittle money at there respectible etablishments.
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.
