Pyatt

We recently decided to book a cabin up in the Ozark Mountains for a few days, which will probably be the last trip we can take with just Jonah before the new baby arrives in August. The cabin was in an isolated location, which meant that we could go and not be around too many other people (a plus since Covid cases are skyrocketing in Arkansas now). Another plus is that the cabin was dog-friendly, so we could bring our pups along for the trip. So we packed up the car, and squeezed in two dogs and three people (well technically four, I guess).

The cabin was located outside of the small town of Pyatt (in Marion County), along a bumpy dirt road. Near the cabin was an old barn, which had this bright purple flower growing next to it. I think the flower is a Bristle Thistle, which sounds like something that would be growing in a Dr. Suess book.



That wasn't the only thing growing, there were a few trees sprouting up next to the weathered wooden beams of the barn.



About 250 people live in the town of Pyatt, which sits near Crooked Creek. There is a short line of old buildings in the town, including this one that had partially collapsed. When we drove by, a recliner was left sitting by a boarded up window.
