I did not take too many pictures of Arkansas, just this Children of The Corn picture near the St. Francis Sunken Lands in eastern Arkansas near Memphis, Tennessee. The Sunken Lands represent another intersection with my walk to Miami, as we drove across the same bridge across them that I walked across on my virtual walk. The lands are in fact sunken, maybe only 10 feet or so, but enough that the area is a wetland covered in trees, and a protected Wildlife Management Area. The area sank in huge earthquakes that hit this area in 1811 and 1812, and we drove on little dirt roads through corn fields to get to them. A bit of an adventure.
From Arkansas, we drove to Atoka, Oklahoma, which makes thirteen states so far. We are staying for a week, and this is the end of the sightseeing portion of our vacation. Here we are visiting family, and then we will drive home by the fastest route available, as we have been on the roads between Oklahoma and home enough times that there are not many sights we have not already seen.
