Thinking about a trip through Arkansas this weekend to check out the Fall colors. Any of you guys in the northern part of the state see any color up there? Located in TXK now. Where is the best place for that sight seeing and $100 Hamburger?

Thanks,
That is a favorite are of ours. I've been told the State has just redone the accomadations like they are on Rich Mt. (Mena)
Back in the 70's WW1 (Wrong wife #1) and I did fall fly throughs.
Did it so much I figured out that early morning flying west from east is real nice.
Just got a 172 in Feb and Right Wife (current) is wanting to check out the fall colors.
I was in Lima Ohio the first week of October and the colors were real nice.
Wondering if the Fall colors had made it down to Arkansas.
Just thinking we might be a week or so early.

Colors on Rich Mtn are great right now. Problem is, the lodge is shut down for renovation.

I made a recent foray on my trusty Vespa motor scooter down to 4th street to check on the local "working girls". They are out in force on each corner in their colorful fall outfits.
The weather here has finally started to cool down. The forecast was down to 90 degrees for today in Sacramento.

P.S. Strangely enough, the local "working girls" do not seem to be overly impressed by my actual genuine Vespa scooter. Hey, it's a real Italian model !

A fellow developed "E.D." and visited a Native American medicine man for the cure.
The old chief ground up some buffalo-dung into a powder and gave it to our friend, instructing him to make it into a "tea" and drink it. Then when he went to bed, he was to say out-loud "One. Two. THREE.".... and assured the old boy that "it will be there for you."

"Great1", says our friend, "That's it? I can DO THAT!"

"Fine', says the chief, "but don't make a MISTAKE! Don't say, "One. Two. Three. FOUR!"....or you won't be capable for TWO FULL MOONS!"

"OK, THANKS!", our friend replies.
He goes home, takes a shower, puts on his black, silk, bath-robe, makes the "tea" and goes to the bedroom where his wife is sitting in bed reading a book.

"Put your book down, Honey! I"ve got something to show you!", and he drinks the tea, drops his bathrobe, and says "One. Two. Three."....and BAM! It happened! :D

She sits up all excited and says, "That's WONDERFUL, Honey! But what did you say, "One, Two. Three, For?" :(


This is why we should never end a sentence with a preposition,......lest we end up with a dangling-participle! :lol:
