During the last part of September 2014, I made a road trip through the area that is included in the Illinois River Watershed Project whose headquarters is located in Cave Springs, Arkansas.  Below are some pictures, mostly from Arkansas, that represents some of the watershed land.  The weather was delightful, low 80s during the day and 60s at night, with lots of sun and no wind.  Some of these pictures will no doubt become painting projects.


Below are some pictures from Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park in Prairie Grove, Arkansas.
