The following are the photographs that I have taken during a brief visit through parts of Ozark Mountains. Began my trip by driving straight to Atoka, Oklahoma on December 1, 2025 and spending the overnight at that little, beautiful town. On December 2, 2025, drove to Talihina, close to Arkansas border, and took the Talimena Scenic Drive, a 54-mile mountainous scenic drive, from Talihina to Mena, Arkansas. On the way, relished the captivating beauty of Ouachita National Forest.

December 2, 2025: The above two pictures illustrate some of the markers on my way from Oklahoma to Arkansas. The first one is the Arkansas border line in the Ouachita National Forest. I have driven from the Oklahoma side and entered Arkansas. The second picture indicates that I'm leaving the Ouachita National Forest. The Ouachita National Forest is a U.S. treasure that spans across Ozark Mountains and Valleys covering Oklahoma and Arkansas.
