2012 Fall Foliage Run to Petit Jean Mountain

The leaves have been stunningly beautiful in Arkansas and we couldn't resist the opportunity to go on a Fall Foliage Run to enjoy the breathtaking views of Petit Jean Mountain.  We loaded the bus to full capacity and all 21 of us enjoyed the gorgeous 2 hour drive through mountain of breathtaking Arkansas Scenery.
 
Atop beautiful Petite Jean Mountain sits the newly redesigned Mather Lodge that offers stunning views and delicious meals.  This was our final destination.

The view was spectacular!

Even with reservations, we could not all sit together because our group was so large.  While we waited for tables, we took a moment to look over the menu and begin to plot our fantastic culinary adventure.

It's time to make your final lunch decisions!

Everybody Say "Cheese!"

This group of troublemakers was put in the corner.
(Nobody puts Baby in the Corner!)

Stacy & Laura before they placed their lunch order.

Ever wonder if you could pay for a lunch with Funny Money?
Us, too!
The answer is no.  Absolutely not.  And the waitress really doesn't even think it's funny.
But we did!

This view from the Lodge was something that none of us will ever forget.

You can see for miles!

Tom and Lynn took a moment to reenact the famous scene from Titanic.
"I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!"
 

Charles and Mildred found a nice, shady bench to enjoy the view.

Nancy took some time to explore the view.
 
 
All in all, we had a marvelous time!  The trip was amazing and none of us will ever forget it!
