Queen Wilhelmina Fall Color Run

Queen Wilhelmina is the second highest mountain peak in Arkansas.  At the top is a beautiful lodge and some of the most amazing scenery in the state.  We loaded up the bus last week and made a trip to see the wonderful colors of the fall leaves changing.

This is the view from the mountain.  At the bottom, you can see a set of train tracks.  During the week, a small train shows tours around the top of the mountain on those tracks.

This is the lodge where we stopped and had a wonderful buffet lunch.

Bill did a fabulous job of getting us up and down the mountain safely!

The Pasmans had a wonderful time!

This is some of the amazing scenery we saw along the way.

We truly do live in a beautiful state!

We stopped on the way down and braved the wind and cold to get some great group pictures!

After lunch, we all sat down for a rest and enjoyed the lodge.

This is the few from our window at lunch!

On the way home, we stopped at the Lum and Abner Museum. It was on the National Register of Historic Places and most of us on the trip remember listening to the Lum and Abner show on the Radio!

WATCH OUT!   Those drooling machines are really guard dogs!

BILL-WATCH OUT! 

There was an entire hallway of pictures of Lum and Abner.

In Arkansas, you can't call it a museum unless it has a deer hanging up!

This old saddle was donated to the museum and was part of an entire room related to Arkansas farm equipment.

We all had a wonderful trip!  The leaves were beautiful, the food was fabulous and we couldn't have asked for better company!  Thanks to Bill's wonderful driving, we were all even able to take a nap on the 2 and a half hour drive home.  We are planning another trip to Queen Wilhelmina next year to see the leaves again!

Join us tomorrow-we're heading out again!  This time, we're going to go snag some lunch here in town at The Purple Cow.  See you tomorrow!
