People lament about all the loose dogs chasing bikes. I would have rather had the warning about the 600 lb pony that was wondering the trail.

Arkansas is apparently huge in hydroponics farming. Here we have the newest designer Cow-Lilly. Apparently, when you remove the legs they float well. Even comes complete with a rescue egret in a rowboat

There have been countless reminders that indoor restrooms cost money to maintain, do kindly support the establishment with a purchase on your way out. It is sad to see these remote towns withering on the vines, but every so often we find one that has reinvented itself and found a niche. This guy knows his market.

I have know idea what these berries are, but damn even Yogi bear would think they are tasty

This guy had the whole yard covered in kitsch.... kitsch in the sense he never held a yard sale since the turn of the last century

One man's trash is another's treasure. Here we see more hydroponics farming. The farmer is growing minnow fish in these manmade ponds. Meanwhile, the egrets are raising a family.... on high quality minnows.

We chalked off Arkansas and also Mississippi. Western Arkansas is home to the Ozarks, and well worth riding. However, I think the zeal to a include a scrap of dirt often interrupted the flow of the ride. And we haven't really been seeing much of anything that doesn't happen in my own backyard.

On a interesting observation, Mississippi has had the most roadside trash we have seen in the last 3weeks. Judging Arkansas by the homes alone, the state is wealthier than Redneck jokes allude.
