Days 4 and 5- 5/2 and 5/3

Headed to Arkansas

5/2 - Talimena Scenic Byway

I've driven this road many times but this was the first time during a thunderstorm.

At several points we were inside the clouds.

Headed back from Arkansas

5/3 - Mountain Fork Park

Low water dam with more water flowing over it than seems safe.

I guess they were anticipating the storms coming in the next few days.

5/3 - Low water dam at Beaver's Bend State Park

This was a bonus for me. I didn't even know this dam was here, but I was glad to find it.

Not that we could actually see the dam because of the flow of water.

5/3 - Tenkiller Dam and the Illinois River

Unexpected stop. We decided to stop by and see if the flow of water

was similar here as we'd seen farther south.

All the spillways were open. I've never seen this river so high!
