I Can Drive 65

To get to Springfield, I took Hyw. 65 from Conway up to Missouri. Along the way, I made a little detour at the Tyler Bend access along the Buffalo River. While we did end up visiting the river (which was really low), we spent more time along this little dirt road.

On our way back home, we made a slight detour off of Hwy. 65 and visited the small community of Snowball. Here in Snowball is the old McDaniel's store and gas station. It is closed, and apparently the family uses it as storage for farm goods now.

And just down the road from Snowball was this abandoned church, nearly hidden behind overgrown brush and vines.

The next stop was in the town of Marshall, which has this old abandoned house that sits just a block away from the county courthouse.

The house was built in 1902, and was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1993.

And then we made one last stop, at the barn at Wiley's Cove Ranch near Leslie.
