Penny and I were anxious to get out of the house Sunday .... and it has been DAYS since I went on a hike , so I suggested a trip down to Gaston's Resort near our home in Lakeview. Gaston's bills itself as a world class trout fishing resort , and they were having some sort of a tournament this weekend with lots of fisherman , boats and even some who fly in to the private airstrip on their small aircraft .
They have a small bird sanctuary , with turkeys , guineas, peacocks and some other breeds as well . It is a cool place to visit , and guess what ..... it also has a HIKING trail to go on too ! It was longer than we thought it was going to be , and we saw 6 or 8 deer running up a hillside as we rounded a bend . It had lots of interesting features to see including lots of old trucks and farm implements , and walkways that are paved with colored glass pieces from old bottles broken into tiny bits. This will be a must see for anyone who come to visit us ..... enjoy the tour !
There is a waterfall going on at the entrance sign
Turkeys spar for the hens attention .......
Some of the peacocks run loose .......
Trees are really blooming now ....
Guineas
Im not sure what this little guy is ..... but he is cute
Struttin his peacock stuff down main street !
Chillin out
Me and the tractor both are showing some age , and rusting a little...
Just needs a little paint , and we could stay here for months ......
Late model Arkansas pickups rule !
Penny about to depart on a safari .....
Someone spent some time working this stump into a squirrel .... I think
All Penny needs is a horse and she'd be cutting hay !
Penny blasts away down the trail , as I huff and puff and try and keep up ......
This fine auto could be just what you have been looking for ....
Small planes like to fly in to Gaston's
Cabins to rent , with the White river on the other side
The White river ..... trout fishing mecca of Arkansas
Lots of tournament fishermen with their expensive rigs were in town ....
Riverside view from the rental cabins ......
easy on the gas now ..... peacocks can sue !!
