Somewhere around Walnut or Swain, Arkansas, we met an old codger who restored this Civil War Era house. Everything works.

The codger told us the big wide stream crossing, maybe 100 meters across, was rideable. So we went for it.

We hemmed and hawwed for about 30 minutes trying to decide to cross this creek. Turned out it wasn't even a foot deep.

Saturday with the Fall Colors Tour. We were backed up while 150 guys slid through the 100 meter mud hole. Hilarious. This was a public road, but the farmer was not pleased.

It was damp Saturday morning, but dried out quick. On Sunday, it would be raining and cold.
