Shirley

The road to the small town of Shirley in the Ozark Mountains has to be among the most curviest roads in the state. It's fun to drive (as long as you don't get car sick), plus there are a few neat things to see along the way. Like some old barns:

P8060286

And this old school/church building:

P8060301

Just outside of Shirley is an old rail bridge, which was built in 1908, which crosses the Little Red River.

When rail service through Shirley ended, the bridge was paved over and converted into use for cars.

P8060310

The bridge is very narrow, and with flimsy-looking guardrails. I wasn't brave enough to actually drive or walk across one...
