@@AnyWayYouTravel That's some stinky stuff! Hey, where are y'all?!

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels It is stinky stuff. I lived in a town next to a railroad tie plant and you could smell that creosote all the time. We’re back in the states right now. However, we have trips planned, yet this year to Dallas, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon, and then, at the end of November, we’re heading back over to Europe for two weeks. We’re already planning travel into 2025.

Oh cool! I wonder if there are two? We learned of a Round Mountain while at the visitor center in Jasper. Their website says, "Enjoy hiking trails that circle a well-known local landmark - Round Top Mountain. The mountain can be seen prominently just south of Jasper and features some of the Ozarks’ most spectacular views. Located 2.4 miles South of Jasper on HWY ."

@AllAboutArkansasTravels ya there's probably two of them I'm not sure

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels round mountain in big flat has two cemeteries Warren has Honeycutts and the others have Wallace everybody over there is related 😂

@AllAboutArkansasTravels Freeman Cemetery where the Honeycutts are buried on round Mountain Road they've been there before the government took the Forestry all of that land belong to my ancestors

@@jameshoneycutt4858 Maybe my ancestors too. My mother's people lived in that area for a long time. I've got ancestors in the Big Flat township census in my genealogy records. Any Cyperts in your line?

@@jbennett3578 Thank you for noticing! I'm still tweaking that opening sequence. I never was a fan of the old one too much. I just didn't have time to do anything about it. I like this one. It'll be a bit different on the next video because I've changed a few things on it but I like it a lot better. Jasper is a great area. I'll have some videos of Mountain View coming out in several weeks. You'll like that area too!

Oh wow. That's scary. I'm glad y'all made it out. That was quite a flash flood

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels The last report I saw was 19 inches

I do believe they are part of the Arkansas Quilt Trail. There are quilt patterns painted on barns and other places throughout the state in an effort to preserve heritage quilt patterns.

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels ok cool thanks

Right?! I was expecting a small stream. :) We were there in May! I left my name on a napkin under the glass table top! I don't like mushrooms but the fried pickles were awesome!

You can also see it at another scenic overlook about 3 miles south of Cliff House restaurant.

@@cindydodson5130 Yes, I explained it at the end of the video

Did you try the "Company's Comin' Pie?" I've heard it's good but I haven't tried it.

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels Yes! It was great! I was by there again not too long ago, but had already eaten in Jasper. Great View! Will have to stop at the other Canyon next time.

Same! Apparently, "Arkansas Grand Canyon" is just a marketing thing though

@@jbennett3578 Yeah, it's not very fitting

Thank you so much for watching! The cabin is awesome and the view from it is amazing!

What happened?

It was crazy to learn that the Arkansas Grand Canyon name was just to get customers

oh!!! Thank you for telling me!

I know! I don't realize it until I leave AR and come back. It's like a jungle out here!

😁

Hmmm. I'll have to look him up!

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels I could be wrong and he might be retired from it now

That would be fun! I've never done a multi-day float

I've heard a lot about it but I haven't been. Definitely have it on my list of things to do!

When I was a kid, we visited some older relatives in the Ozarks to pick strawberries, which were growing on the side of a hill so steep you had to watch your footing. As an adult, I've driven through the Ozarks a few times, but I haven't stopped to look around much. I did spend a day photographing headstones at a couple of cemeteries near Marshall, because that's where my mother's people lived. Even though I was kinda on a genealogy mission that day, I did spend some time just looking at the landscape. It's a beautiful place.

Any time as long as there has been enough rain. You'll probably want to shoot for spring or early summer. You can call the ranger stations or an outfitter to check water levels. When we floated, the water level was at 2-4 feet and it was perfect.

That would be so cool! I didn't know they made those! The problem is finding a lake clear enough to use one. Lake Ouachita would be a good spot for sure and probably even Norfork. I've tried to film underwater at Greer's Ferry and you couldn't hardly see anything. Thank you for the birthday wishes! I'll be sure to tell him

​@@AllAboutArkansasTravels That might be why those underwater drones have not become popular. You spend thousands of dollars to get underwater pictures, and all you get are pictures of murky water. Murky video is all I've managed by putting a GoPro in the water. Sure, it's murky in 4K, but it's still boring.

You can definitely bring your own! You have 6?! We have 2 tandem inflatables that we travel with

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels three sit in. Three sit on including a child 6 foot and a canoe lol

@@jrcriner6542 Nice!! Do you kayak often?

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels only on vacation unfortunately. We kayak the sylimore creek and the white river mostly

I guess I'm getting cautious in my old age. When I saw those slides, my first thought was that someone was going to slide down, hit a turtle, and put out an eye. "Get some safety goggles on, kids!" I'd be a miserably un-fun parent. :)

@@jbennett3578 😁 Lol!

Thank you for watching!

That would be really, really cool. I have seen the Arkansas River at the Royal Gorge as well but I haven't seen the headwaters. If you do it, I'd love to hear about it!

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels Like Arkansas itself, I don't think the Arkansas River gets as much attention as it deserves sometimes. I mean, it's a big ol' river that crosses half the United States. That's one reason I like your videos. You've been giving the river some of that attention.

Hey!! I'm glad you stumbled over here!

Hi! Thank you! I appreciate you being here. Does he collect around Arkansas?

he found them here at Pinnacle before it was a state park

😂 no! It's more fun this way!

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels lol

Here's the link! bandgrvparkandrentals.com/

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels thanks

What?!? I knew they were big but not that big! I've never seen one in person. I would love to though.

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels there was one on a farm not far from me that was as big as a car that was used for many years until the tree fell

@@jrcriner6542 That's wild. I'm going to have to look up pictures

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels google images and you can see a park ranger sitting in an example of a nest

Thank you for watching! It was very interesting to film. I learned so much!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Just the way you show everything around the park. I really appreciate being able to see as much of a park and what there is to do. You are always giving as much information as possible in each video

Yeah, we definitely went somewhere else for the tornado. Thankfully, it never reached us.

I've had a few people on my Facebook page tell me that

Thank you friend!!!

I know exactly what you mean! It's a rough day for me if I run out of milk for my coffee. I don't know how Bass did all that he did. I was actually thinking about it the other day. How did he do so much for 30 years and make it through alive? Thank you so much for watching. I'm trying hard to grow this channel and it means a lot to me that you watch and comment.

@@AllAboutArkansasTravels I've had a domain called Arkansas Outpost since back in the 1990s. A lot of my life has been about wanting to get back to Arkansas, so I felt like kind of an "outpost". Your videos are like phoning home. "How are things in Arkansas? You visited Fort Smith? Cool! Talk with you next week." That's why you've got my support and my hopes for your channel to get as big as I think it deserves. I'm just one of the outposts checking in. :)

@@jbennett3578 Wow, thank you so very much. That means the world to me. I just finished editing tomorrow's video and I added extra driving footage at the end just for you so you can see more of Arkansas 💛

​@@AllAboutArkansasTravels Thanks! I like driving footage. I got some Arkansas highways on video around the eclipse this year, but that was just between Waldron and Texarkana. If you want some contrast, I have a video titled "Highway 160 East" that shows what a drive to a picnic area looks like in eastern Colorado. 80 miles of straight road...
