Petit Jean State Park


Spent Sunday and Monday at Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas. We took a long hike to see Cedar Falls but since the area hasn't had any rain in 2 months the waterfall was just a trickle. But at least we got some good exercise and nice scenery. There was a night hike with the ranger to Bear Cave which gave us some history on the cave and of the petroglyphs. We also saw some sandstones that now look like the backs of a turtle. We saw deer, rabbits and a skunk walked within 20 feet where I was sitting. Thank goodness he went one way and I went the other:) Looking forward to getting up to the Ozarks and some motorcycle riding. If you want to read how the park became Petit Jean go to http://www.petitjeanstatepark.com/history/history_of_petit_jean_mountain.aspx it is an interesting story.
