Trek to Big Roundmouth!
After seeing the old Alvin Reeves Place, we took the opportunity to challenge the "chicks and tiggers" and take a hike to Big Roundmouth Cave and some bluffs nearby. Big Roundmouth Cave was formed when a cavern collapsed. The collapse left a 150 foot circular sinkhole with a rubble pile dividing two caves once joined. The land owner has had some of the cave mapped by certified cave-explorers in the recent past and plans to allow more expeditions into the cave to further map it.
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.
