Just looking at the roadmap.  For me to get to Arkansawyer's place, first I would have to turn North at Toad Suck.... :o

it looks like you got the zippers down the side of the road like we have on some of the roads around here. i did not realize i drove on the shoulder so much until they put them in. it makes you pay attention more unless you are like some people that ride on the center line. ;D

They put those zippers down the middle of our highway this summer.  Claim is that it prevents a lot of the accidents where folks doze off and cross the center line.  I believe it.

That black stuff is the road.  Asphault.  Toads sucked away the rest of it.

Yep! Toad Suck is just 2 hours south of me.  Great place to catfish on the Arkansas River.  Turn north and come on up.

Yes, and the pie is most tasty.

Speaking of fishing, I loaded the bait tank with toads shad today and I’m off after the biguns tomorrow.  Weather is far to good to spend the day workin.

I tend to be suspicious of anybody that makes fun of Toad Suck...they may be a yankee...or even worse a revenuer. :D ;D :D

I went to school in Red Lick, Ms.  (named for a natural salt lick that deer loved)  It was close to Coon Box. (??)

  Toad Suck was a shoals on the Arkansas River and the barge hands and tug boat guys would go up on the bank and drink shine till they were blowed up and drunk.  Now there is a lock and dam there and a State Park.  But when the hands were asked what they were doing they would reply "Sucking toads".  Thus the name Toad Suck.
