White River Excursion

A buddy and I went on a white river excursion and saw some pretty magnificent things. Here is just a sample of the wonders that lie along the white river starting at Calico Rock and heading towards Norfork. The bluffs were riddled with all types and sizes of caves and overhangs. All the foliage and trees created a wide array of brilliant greens.
Here's a rare treat! We see a family of Canadian geese with goslings in tow maneuvering down the banks of the river. - Jim (Newburgian)

Wolf House (Norfork, Baxter County)

Wolf House (original structure) and John Wolf Cabin (moved from original site a mile from Calico in present day Izard County)

The Jacob Wolf House


The Wolf House is not in present day Izard County. The county was split up in the 1800s, but this was the first seat of government in the area. It is located at Norfork, where the White and Norfork Rivers meet. Norfork is a few miles below hwere America's first national river empties into the beautiful White River, as well.

The shot labeled "Piney Creek" is in the county. It is the most beuatiful spot in the county, as a matter of fact. The shot does not capture the bluffs that stretch for hundreds of yards around a bend above the rapids.
