Betsy awaiting the sunset outside our cabin on Mount Nebo. February 23, 2010.
It’s nice to be home.
Betsy and I had a wonderful few days in Arkansas. It is difficult to decide on a single high point for our time there. We was the sun (something we still haven’t been able to do in Tennessee), beautiful waterfalls, glorious sunrises, majestic sunsets, and fascinating rock formations.
We stayed at our favorite cabin in Mount Nebo State Park. In late February the sun sets directly opposite the back deck. We did have to go to the other side of the mountain to see the sunrise, but even that was definitely worth while.
Although we stayed at Mount Nebo, we also visited Mount Magazine and Petit Jean, two other nearby state parks. We had been to each before, but we managed to see something new in each park.
We had thought we would return to Garvan Gardens on our way to Nebo to enjoy the spring flowers, but the cold weather had delayed most of the flowers, so we decided to check out some waterfalls in the Ouachita Mountains. We had not been in that region before, and enjoyed seeing new sights and visiting new waterfalls.
Since both of us have new cameras you can imagine the number of pictures we took (then again, maybe you can’t!). We’ll share some of those with you in the days ahead.

I’m glad you had a great time. I see Betsy has her new camera ready to pounce on any opportunity to take a picture. That’s how we are when we’re out. 🙂

Welcome back to both of you! A lovely picture of Betsy all in blue with her camera! As I commented to her, Mt. Magazine sure is an odd name, I wonder how they came by it? Looking forward to more posts of your trip!

What a wonderful and relaxing time you had. I loved Betsy’s pictures of the cabin. Bundle up for the snow tonight and tell Betsy to stop wishing for more snow!
