A is for Arkansas

Arkansas is my home. Oh, I may have a zip code that reflects otherwise, but Arkansas remains my home. I grew up in Eureka Springs, a town known for hippies, artists, and hospitality. I spent several years in Conway and in Fayetteville pursuing higher education.

My favorite places to visit include Steel Creek on the Buffalo, Richland Creek, Hawksbill Crag (aka Whitaker Point), Beaver Lake, Blanchard Springs in Fifty-Six, Devil’s Den, and Hot Springs…just to name a few.

What do I miss most about Arkansas? The Buffalo National River and the tiny Odin Stones I find there, the fresh air, the thunderstorms, the leaves in autumn, fishing at the White River, hiking, but most of all my friends and my family.
