After a day of driving in the rain and sleeping in a rest area, we decided we needed a day to enjoy the sunshine and sleep somewhere pretty in the woods. After spending the morning in Clarksville, Arkansas we headed up into Ozark National Forest to explore a bit. Apparently our atlas thinks there are roads that should exist, but don't (thanks Kristen and Rick for the Christmas present!!) and we got a wee bit turned around. We started to explore some forest service roads and we happened upon an old logging road. 4wd was engaged and off we went.
We ended up next to the Mulberry River deep in the forest. It was perfect. Had the river water not been around 45 degrees it would have been the perfect swimming spot. The water was a brilliant aquamarine.
Tucker even had some fun running off into the forest and returning 45 minutes later with a large bloody bone in his mouth and some fresh scratches on his face.
The Ozarks get two thumbs up from us.
