It IS pretty, Beta. One of the most interesting
things is the red clay in the southwest part of the state. Whenever the fields are freshly plowed, the soil has a very red color because of the high iron
content. In the northeast (where I now live) there are lots of woods and creeks and streams. In the southeast, there are what we call mountains but anyone
from anywhere else would only call them hills. When you're flat as a pancake, it doesn't take much elevation to look like a mountain.
They're the
Ouachita (pronounced WASH-i-ta) mountains and are very nice. The southwest part of the state has the Quartz Mountains and the Wichita Mountains (both
also hills) but they just look like piles of boulders. The northeast part of the state, including the panhandle is all grassland.
