Ok, I'll map nerd here again. Let's look at Lake Monticello from the air today. First I'll look at it from Landsat Satellite. For those unaware, Lake Monticello was drained for levee repairs and while the lake was drained the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) has done a bunch of habitat work on the … Continue reading Lake Monticello

Alaska – The Views (Part 2)
We recently took a family vacation to Alaska. This trip has been a goal of ours since we had kids. When we were married we took an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon trip but said we wanted to go back and just experience Alaska as a family and not part of the cruise crowds. I'm … Continue reading Alaska – The Views (Part 2)

I can't describe how that made me feel so today I'm sharing some of my … Continue reading Night Sky Photos For Papaw

Which photo is your favorite? Send … Continue reading Flowers For Sadie
Cut-Off Creek
The other day I wrote about a trip to Warren Prairie with my daughter. Today's post I'm heading the other direction from Monticello (east) to Cut-Off Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) which is owned and managed by the AGFC. It's getting very hot here in south Arkansas so I headed out early (it didn't help). … Continue reading Cut-Off Creek
