Every year Frances and I go to Arkansas to see the fall foliage. This year we went to the Buffalo River. The Buffalo is the first river in the U. S. to get the National title. I think around 1971 Congress passed the bill. It's one of the cleanest rivers in the U. S. and will never have a dam built on it. The Buffalo has huge rock bluffs all up and down it.  The beautiful green color comes from minute slate particles in the water   I love the way the water reflects images and this is my favorite shot I took on the trip  Fall foliage  This is a picture of 5 deer that walked by our campsite just before dark.  We came back home by way of Ark Hwy 7. I'll post those pics in another thread Curt |

Nothing more soothing than beautiful reflections on water. And on an un-dammed river to boot! Looks like you had a great camping trip.

Thanks for sharing. Nature rocks, especially where it has not been destroyed or damaged. Great photos.

What a beautiful place! And those deer, they blend in the forest perfectly. Even though you say there are five of them, I only spotted one, and this is because you mentioned them.

Oh Curt, you were only two hours away from me  I live close to a river just a couple of blocks, you two could have camped IN my house, would have fed you beans, fried tators and corn bread. Donna |

Thanks guys! No John, we didn't do any floating but hope to go back one day and try it out. It was a short trip and just didn't have time. Adrian, I was wondering if anyone could see the deer. I knew we were close to you Donna but after the drive to the Buffalo, I don't think I could have made it another 2 hours. One of these days............ Curt |

The first time I visited Arkansas was to float the Buffalo out of Jasper. I fell in love with it and now live in the Ozarks.
I was pleasantly surprised the colors were good this year. We had a pretty severe drought this summer and alot of trees went dormant early.
Love the pics.
