ROAD TRIP....

A few weeks ago we had to journey to Springfield to take of some business.  Buck decided we would make it a ROAD TRIP!  Everyone knows he isn't the biggest fan of vacation so it was a pleasure to drive 1,500 miles with him and enjoy the scenery.

Typical Buck pose 

not the best vacation taker

(is that proper grammer??) 

We stopped in Arkansas

at Gaston's on the White River

a beautiful setting for relaxing 

Buck tried a timed photo

not bad ~ if I do say so myself 

Another shot of the river

quite swift ~ wouldn't want to fall in! 

The private landing area for

personal planes SHOULD have

given us pause ~ NOT

Don't even ask how much we paid for supper!

And here is ME 

always ready for a road trip

Dam on the White River

Is this the front?? 

Or is this the front??? 

As you can see

you can drive across the top of the dam!

This is me

"striking a pose" 

Buck and I attempted another

timed photo

(we were both cracking up)

The sign said BLACK bear

so why is it BROWN???

We traveled on, took care of business, and came back to Wheeler State Park in Alabama. Another lovely ~ quiet area where you just want to say "ahhhhhhhh".

Doesn't that look serene??

hmmmmm ~ was this sunrise

or sunset??? 

We drove through the camping area, across the bridge with the lock system, and through a parking lot filled with vehicles pulling boat trailers.  We spotted 21 deer!!  I won't bore you with 21 photos but here are a couple....okay three!

Right in the center of the photo

do you see it?? 

These two were just chilling beside the road

This guy was looking at US 

There were plenty of geese

Not my most flattering angle
