If you’ve come to this blog on a regular basis, you know that Mount Nebo in Arkansas is a favorite place for Betsy and me.  We’ve made several trips there, always staying in ‘our’ cabin at the top of the mountain.

Mount Nebo gives us a chance to forget about the cares of the world, to relax, hike, and visit waterfalls.  It also gives us a wonderful place to see the beginning and the ending of the day.

The photo above was taken at Sunrise Point on Mount Nebo.

Today I’m grateful for the opportunities present in each new morning.

The picture above was taken at Sunset Point in Mount Nebo State Park, Arkansas.  Betsy and I are leaving for Mount Nebo early Sunday morning.  We have a favorite cabin on the mountain top and we always stay there when we visit the mountain.  This will be our sixth visit.  Can you tell that we like it there?

There are a couple of waterfalls on the mountain and several nice hiking trails, so I don’t think we’ll run out of things to do.  If we do decide to get off the mountain there are plenty of other waterfalls and beautiful scenes in the area.

I won’t be doing any new posts until we get back home.  I will have my iPod Touch with me, and if we can get internet service, I’ll visit as best I can.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to places that are special to my Beautiful Bride and me.

Sunrise Point, Mount Nebo State Park, Arkansas. December 4, 2008.

Mount Nebo State Park in Arkansas is one of our special places to visit.  We have a favorite cabin on the mountain top and try to get there each year.  Two of the nice features of the park is that there are perfect places to view sunrises and sunsets.

This picture was taken in December, 2008, at Sunrise Point.  If you look closely on the left of the picture you can see the Arkansas River in the valley below.  But the main feature of this photo is the sun, rising over the mountains to the east, looking like a star.
