My friend Jim (Skid) taught me how to plot a route on google maps and then post it to my blog. This is where I went today.

Once in awhile the old Garmin will send me down a dirt road.

This one took me past a field of contented cattle

I wanted to find out where the road past the War Eagle Mill went. It circles around and then up the hill behind the mill.

What a view

That is the river that drives the water wheel for the mill.


I then headed to Rogers, AR and had BBQ

After that I visited the Daisy Air Rifle Museum

Interesting story how the company started.

The windmill business had run it's coarse and they switched to air guns.

Boy, that's a Daisy! .....and that is how it got it's name.

Many models on display

Some were very large caliber like this 46 cal. one.

This was the 50,000,000th one.

They even have a model for Susan


They even have a model for Susan

I like the old Coke ad on the building across the street.

Outside of the Daisy Museum

The main street of the Historic District

This is a big lake. :) .....but only a small part of it.

I re-visited Thorncrown Chapel again to get a few more pictures.

Very simple and very peaceful


These lights were on every vertical support beam.

This is the smallest Victorian home ever. About 12' x 20'

I found a few more of the springs this afternoon

A very nice reflection pond

Another one of the developed springs. Not flowing much water now.

View of the Crescent Hotel from across the valley

One of the residential streets, although it just looks like a country road.

View of the overlook

Susan must be visiting a friend up here.

Hot Sauce letting folks cook their own this evening.

He's got a pretty nice set-up. Can't wait for the big feed tomorrow evening!
