Talimena Scenic Drive

For my birthday this year we went down to the Ouachita National Forest to hike!

We have done this for the past three years and I have enjoyed it everytime!

For those of you that are dying of curriostity…

I am 27

I remembered!!!

I have trouble forgetting how old I am.

I get weird looks from people when I say that.

It was a pretty nice cabin and very reasonably priced.

It is about thirty miles north of Ouachita National Forest.

You could tell by the fact he was flying away from me.

It was windy and cold.

My subjects were less then willing.

But I won, that is all that matters.

If you live in the Eastern part of Oklahoma you have to take a drive on the Talimena in the fall! Breathtaking!

My husband very sweetly reminded me that it does not look like this all year round.

I think it does.

  1. Wow, Breathtaking. I wanted to take that drive a few weeks ago but alas, we didn’t. Maybe next year.
