A Trail of Two Cities
I want to share with you a trail of two cities. There’s action and adventure, drama and suspense, and probably some humor if you bring a funny friend. The story begins over at Only in Arkansas, where I have a post up all about the Arkansas River Trail. It’s a great place to ride with friends or family, whether you opt for the entire loop or just a small section. I’ve split the trail into four … Read entire article »

P. Allen Smith Flashback
It’s dang hot. I was sitting here thinking about how long it’s been since the weather was nice and not stifling, and that made me think of the day back in May when I visited P. Allen Smith’s farm.

So, did you take a gander at some of the other blog posts I linked to in part 1 of this Bean2Blog series?

Knowing that the event centered around soybeans, I was a little apprehensive about what would be presented to us. If you’ve read my past posts like this or this, you might know that I … Read entire article »
