The temps were up even if the sky was dreary, so Toan and I headed out to see what we could see. One of my favorite roads is the road to Murphy, Ok, right off 412. We kept the GPS off on purpose and just drove, making a decision at each intersection based on how the scenery looked each way. We did end up making a big circle once. Saw some early Daffodils and some friendly Mules.
We ate at Peggs, then took back roads to the Illinois River. No canoers this early. The campgrounds are deserted. Then we drove through the J. T. Nickel Family Nature and Wildlife Preserve, which has been hit hard by the ice storm that ruined so many trees in Arkansas a month ago.
We wandered east from there and found a nice cascade that will look incredible in high water. At this point I turned on the GPS, both to save the location of the cascade and to find our way back to civilization. Back through Siloam Springs and back to Tulsa. Nothing earth shaking but a very nice day's drive. Thanks, Toan.
