Day 235
This morning, before leaving town
 we hiked around Black Bass Lake in Eureka Springs.
Definitely a nature walk!
We saw animal tracks, got ticks (yuck) 
and heard animals of unknown species rustling in the woods!
Then onto the Copper Run Distillery for my first taste of Moonshine...
Some GOOD stuff!
I was surprised I liked it!
Homeward bound after that!

 Black Bass Lake, the last bit of morning fog about to burn off.
First part of our morning hike around the lake.

Animals tracks of some type! Anybody know?

wildflowers in the early morning sun...:)


 Look what I found at the distillery! What a sweetie! 
I didn't ask to take photos of the distillery. I figured they'd say no but 
this little pooch was much cuter anyway!

 Wildflowers at the distillery!


Day 234...My Birthday! :)

Day 234
This morning after coffee time we visited Beaver Lake which is just gorgeous!
Some of the clearest, bluest lake water I've ever seen!
It was so clear that while walking down a boat ramp 
Mark didn't realize how close he was to the water 
and took one step too many...walked right into it!
A little later he decided it was OK to stand on a log by the waters edge...
a slippery log that is, and yep, he fell in! Wet shoes all day!
And yes, I laughed!! 
We did A LOT today, like our Saturday in Branson!
It was a great day!!!
 looking out over Beaver Lake...at the Dam

 Beaver Lake view...played around with editing quite a bit on this one.
Not sure what else it needs but I went with this one.

 Mark, on the log...before the slip!

 Ranger Tower...100ft climb... :/

 at the top!!! No photo of me though...:( 
I forgot to pass the camera over to Mark before we were on our way down...
I wasn't going back up! 

 Downtown Eureka Springs
 I LOVE this staircase

 this was the best part of my birthday dinner...:)

 what dainty flowers...a sweet little vine!

and last, but not least...
 A bath house (bordello) from 1901...
Now, a very nice hotel.
Check out that neon sign!
The first neon sign west of the Mississippi
One of the oldest, original neon signs left in America 
according to the guide from a tour we took a couple of years ago.
aka "The Phallus Palace" by the locals...lolol

Day 233...Movin' On

Day 233
After a wonderful Sunday Brunch at The Keeter Center we headed on down to 
Eureka Springs, AR!
One of my favorite places!
 Christ of the Ozarks...located on the property of The Passion Play.
As much as I love the image of Christ, I've never really cared for the hard lines and style of this statue.
Nonetheless, it is an impressive sight to see! Six stories tall, if I'm remembering correctly.

 What better place to take a Sunday afternoon nap than on the lawn of
The Crescent Hotel!!!

 Lake Leatherwood...Eureka Springs city park lake...
