Arkansas’s version of “Jurassic Park” is at Mid-America Science Museum in Hot Springs. -- Called “DinoTrek” it’s the state’s only permanent outdoor dinosaur exhibit. “Tilting Rock” as the locals call it, overlooks Big Creek valley near Cozahome. The 14-ton slab of rock really does tilt back and forth when you walk on it. Blowing Cave near Batesville has a sci-fi history dating back to the 1940’s and 50’s involving a secret subterranean culture. Banjo builder Randall Wyatt of Searcy has made ‘em for some of Nashville’s best, and he can play a mean banjo himself as well. They’re not always there every year, but when they do arrive to winter on Lake Conway, the white pelicans make for quite a picture-taking treat!
