Tell me about Mt. Nebo in AR

Hey, I was there last month. I found Arkansas ppl to be conservative minded, friendly, usually dressed in camo, and straight.... At least the rural types were.

I was at Petit Jean, which is about 10 mi east of Nebo. Maybe Nebo is the peak I went up. You look at it from down in the bottom and think damn, I'm going up there?

It was part of a route I took diagonally across AR from Pocahontas to Texarkana.

In Petit Jean, they pronounce the name various ways. Some people there pronounce it like "pa-zhawn," in the French way. Others there pronounce it "Pet it Gene."
 
I think you were on Petit Jean Mountain. Was that one of your overnights?
Nebo is further N and W. West of Dardanille on 155.
There are quite a few good roads in AR. They even have their own "Dragon".
 
^Yes, it was an overnight. Actually it was the first night in a new tent that I bought in Little Rock, after the one I brought proved to be a bad leaker. I just left the first tent up there, in its bag. On the mountain it was mostly evergreens, but on the road south of there it was all pretty intense fall colors. At this point, all roads seem equally entertaining :)
