After weeks of mostly wet weather, Halloween was dry — and we took a short road trip and hike.
Our first stop was at the Russellville, Arkansas, Downtown Fall Festival. Unfortunately, my camera’s white balance was set to compensate for inside lighting and I forgot to change it to auto white balance. So the composite images, even after post processing, are somewhat surreal, especially considering the holiday and all.

Our next stop was Petit Jean State Park. One of our favorite hikes is to Cedar Falls, the highest water fall in Arkansas — and the most photographed.
We figured that, with the recent wet weather, and rainfall totals way above normal, the falls should be pretty spectacular — and we were right. We’ve been taking this short, but arduous hike, periodically since 1980. We’ve never seen Cedar Creek with this much water in it.

Very pretty place to hike to. Karen’s fibro must be doing very well with all this exercise.
Dot – Yes it is very pretty and, this time, it was quite different than all of the other times we went down there.
Her fibro is pretty much in medicated remission. However, she’s got some arthritis issues with her neck that she is in physical therapy for and her bursitis has flared up in her hips.
