Hunter Mountain dominates the scenery along Knob Creek. The cave is rumored to go completely through the mountain. Across Mill Creek from the Mountain, stands an old one-room schoolhouse...we are not sure what the community was called that it serviced. The old log house is the Richardson House...a period log cabin from the 19th century.
The circles were etched in the sand along Mill Creek by the wind blowing rooted grass stalks in circles.
Enjoy this video we got last Sunday afternoon while visiting the ice-covered waterfall at Gid!
Tune in often...we might get to visit the Hunter Mountain Cave near Knob Creek today!
UPDATE!
The whole crew didn't get to go to Hunter Mountain today, but we are now aware of its location and plan to return soon with equipment to get some photos and video. The area the cave is located is also near the spot where Knob Creek flows into Mill Creek so we will have more to offer than just cave-features. There is also a period log-cabin on the property we're looking forward to featuring. The member of the crew who went yesterday was able to get a few shots with his cell-phone camera. We'll try to get those up sometime later today or tonight.
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.
