Of Peach Cobbler and Dutch Ovens

South of the capital, the the sharp corners and hairpin turns throughout the dense deciduous trees and steep slopes of the Ozark Mountains quickly change. They stretch out into shallow rolling hills
and big sweeping curves that cut through man planted forests of tall skinny pine trees destined for the local mills. If you keep your hand on the throttle and your tires between the ditches, in no time at all you're camped in Northern Louisiana having homemade peach cobbler, baked in a Dutch Oven, with some friendly Louisianans in Chemin-A-Haut State Park.
