| 114. CLIMBING THE PINNACLE | A short but steep climb in Pinnacle Mountain State Park, Roland, AR. Stamp by RTRW. |
To reach Pinnacle Mountain State Park, take Exit 9 off I-430 at Little Rock and travel seven miles west on Arkansas Route 10, then go two miles north on Arkansas Route 300 to the park entrance on the right.
Take the West Summit Trail up to a billboard just past marker 6. Then continue about 60 steps at 60 degrees up the trail to where the talus slope climb begins in earnest. From the big flat slab with the yellow blaze in the middle, take 6 steps north off trail and do an "about face" to look at the north side of a big pointy rock. Examine the cubby hole below the rock for a box with RTRW's stamp of a rock climber. Hope this inspires you to climb to marker 10 at the top of the pinnacle!
While at the top you might look for Pinnacle Mountain and Passion Letterbox.
| 115. ADDING A SPLASH OF COLOR | A quick rest area break on eastbound I-40 near Forrest City, AR. Stamp by RTRW. |
Found Jun 27, 2005. Reported missing July 2006.
Eastern Arkansas had no letterboxes to visit while we were passing through in the spring of 2005, so, to break up the long drive from Little Rock to Memphis, we placed one about halfway between at the eastbound rest area near Forrest City. Drive east into the rest area and park in the easternmost parking space of the small lot just past the restroom building. From the NE corner of that space take above 55 steps at 25 degrees to find a microbox tucked into the east side of a south facing hole in a medium large tree. Please rehide it safely and unobtrusively in this potentially busy spot so that others may enjoy adding a splash of color to their trips as well!
