Autumn in Izard: Chandler's Cave
Below is the first of at least two videos covering our activities during the Fall of 2011. In this video, Jim and I travel to Guion and along the River Road back to Gid. Then we join Elvada Walker, a Jeffery Family descendant, and members of her family for a trip to what we believe to be Chandler's Cave - a "Rock House" shelter with two openings that has significant connections to the history of early pioneers, Old Jesse and Young Jesse Jeffery.
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.
