When it Rains...
A wet & wild weekend in the Izard County Outback. Wildflowers were blooming, dewberries were ripening, and the mountain streams were flowing!
Following are photos of excursions to the Sylamore Waterfall and to a pair of falls near Gid we've never documented before. We've known about one of them but have never got the chance to catch it after a good rain. They lie along Colley Branch and since we don't know any nicknames for either, we have dubbed them the "Colley Branch Cave Waterfall" and "Jack-in-the-Box Falls".
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.
