Elijah Jeffery House
Though we've visited this site before, we were unaware until recently that it was originally the Elijah Jeffery Home. We've not been to this old place, which was later operated as a boarding house, since the ice-storm earlier this year. It was heartbreaking to find the old building in a devastating state having had much that was standing only a year ago collapsed.
The photo of Pilot Knob was taken as we returned to the Melbourne area from Mount Olive via Jumbo Road.
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.
