April 24th 1998
A couple of weekends ago, I rented the Arrowhead Lodge for a night. The view was so
spectacular that I wanted to share it with our readers.
Im enclosing a copy of the column and want you to know I received a number of
phone calls asking your location, which I gladly gave.
Hope to visit again someday.

"Ive found it, and it very well may be the most beautiful
spot in Arkansas. Outside of Eureka Springs, the rim road overlooks the valley and the
White River, which reflects 40 shades of green and the springtime beauty of the forest
that climbs the mountain on the other side. Farms and houses and rustic barns complete the
landscape of tranquility one sees as he sips wine and watches the sun sink behind a
cloud, transforming the sky into a red and orange extravaganza of glowing color and
twi-light.
Dawn from the porch of the cabin reveals a surreal fantasy of fog and
ever-so-slowly swirling, cotton-candy clouds. As the sun rises, first the river, then the
boats and fishermen appear. Blacks become green with light and life. As you enjoy your
mourning coffee, its like a magnificent painting being drawn by the hand of God right
before your eyes.
Ive been to Europe and Asia and to a large part of this nation.
Ive seen three goat ropings and a county fair, but Ive never seen anything to
compare with what I saw last weekend right here in Arkansas.
