I thought I would try to learn how to post pictures using my Farm in the small town of Bates, Arkansas.
Here is the View as you come though the Front Gate.
You drive past the Barn and working pens along with a Pond.
The Mountain you see in the Background is Poteau Mountain, the 5th highest point in Arkansas. You can turn out of my drive and go for 28 miles though the Quachita National Forest on what is called The Poteau Rustic Auto Tour.
Here is a view from the top.
As you drive along the edge of the Middle pasture you turn and cross a Creek where the Cabin is. The Pictures of the Cabin are a little old as we have done quite a bit to it.
Here is the view from the Front Porch looking across the Horse pasture, it's real neat to sit out there with a Beverage and watch the storms roll across the valley.
Here is a couple of shots of the interior before we bought it. Lord has the wife remodeled this! LOL
This is the Kitchen, it is now a totally different color.
Here we have the Dining area
When we were talking to the Original owner he was talking about a Lake up in the National Forest that had pretty good Bass Fishing. It is above the Cabin about 5 Miles though the Mountain roads, even has a nice concrete ramp.
Here is a view of it from a Jeep trail above the Lake. The water level was low from the NF doing some work on it.
I kinda messed with the wife on a trip up to the Farm one trip as I stopped off and bought this to run around the Mountains with. Pay backs are gonna be Bad!
This is what I bought to fish it, works great!
I have had some really nice Fishing days on the Little Lake, around 40 Bass on one trip up to 8 pounds. One evening my buddy Wes and I caught (2) 6 1/2 pounders and a 7 1/2 pounder in 15 minutes on Black Buzz Baits!
Me and a couple of Bass.
Here is Wes and a nice Bass.
We have really enjoyed our place, the people are real nice and they hold Pie Suppers where you bid on pies and they will have a Band for everyone to listen to at the Old Bates School that they are working to turn into a Community Center. The Mountains are fun to run around in as there are Ponds and Rivers scattered all around to fish in. We see lots of Deer, Turkeys and I have seen one nice Black Bear! One of the neat aspects of where I am is that there are 2 Wilderness Areas on the Mountain, so it's just Foot or Mule to get back in there. Hope ya'll enjoy! John
