Snowball update

I found out that there are several great mountain biking trails near the town of Snowball. I'll have to go check them out and post back the info. There is a 14 mile trail that starts at the old gas station and goes up the mountain to an overlook. I'll have to check it out.

Recent ride to Snowball

The folowing pics are posted from my ride to Snowball, Arkansas the other day. I had been needing to get away for a short ride and Becky had said " get out of here", so Idid. This first leg of my trip would be about 78 miles to the town of Snowball. I would take Highway 64 to Russellville and take Highway 7 to Pelsor. Once at Pelsor, I would take Highway 16 to the town of Snowball.

There are many scenic spots along the way if you have some time. There is Pedastal Rocks - which has a hiking trail and some very cool rock formations, Falling Water Church - there are many revivals go on down there, and the Richland Creek Wilderness Area - lots of waterfalls such as twin falls, and other great places to explore.

Check the post below for some pics from that trip. I don't know anything about Snowball, other than it was named after a fellow by the name of B.F. Snow. After taking a few more snaphots I was off to Harrison fore some lunch. It was about 48 miles or so to Harrison. After a quick lunch at Taco Bell and a stop at Texaco for some gas I was back on the road back home. Rode Highway 7 back to Russellville and Highway 64 back to Knoxville. Highway 7 is a great ride with lots of curves and some great scenic views along the way.

Here is a corner stone on the masonic lodge near the store. I don't have any other information on this town, but if you do just leave me a comment. 

Across from the old general stors is a gas station. I did not see any dates on the building, but it's really old. No longer in use, but it is neat seeing these old buildings. 

A pic from my recent ride to Snowball, AR. This is the old general store that is no longer in use except for a Pepsi machine that still has drinks in it. Look into the windows and it's like looking into the past.
