If you have ever talked to me extensively, chances are you have probably heard me say the name Sadie. This infamous name well known both to my friends and family is the name of my best friend since the 7th grade. Although we have nearly spent more time apart than together, our long distance friendship has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. 

This is my beautiful friend Sadie Madison Alexander. Her love for all things country including guns and boots as seen here is only one piece of who she is. She is a multi-layered exotic creature, who still surprises me every time we are together. She has supported me in everything I have ever done and always been a listening ear for me, standing up to whoever I couldn't stand up to for myself. Her strength is incredible and her head is on straight about 99.9% of the time (unless there is ice cream involved). 

We have so many memories as young girls and teenagers and now college students that I am not even going to begin to try to do them all justice. Just know two things: (1) this girl means the world to me and (2) scroll all the way to the bottom because you do not want to miss a single one of these pictures. 

After the excitement of finding Falling Water Falls (see previous post), my spring break adventures quickly turned into waterfall hunts. This little treasure was our second find. 

Triple Falls, which is also called Twin Falls because the third falls is not always running, is found a short hike off of Camp Orr Boy Scout Camp on the Buffalo National River near Jasper, Arkansas. The trek to the falls was quite interesting. We spent most of our time driving down a curvy, bumpy, treacherous dirt road, but once we reached the bottom of the mountain and the boy scout camp, the hike to falls was brief and flat. The trail opened up to this little oasis dead-end that is home to this falls. 

We brought in a picnic lunch and spent a couple of hours here taking pictures, watching children play in the water and mud and enjoying the beautiful weather. Although it ended up being an all day excursion to find this falls, the result of finding a tucked away treasure was worth it. 

In addition to this jackpot find, we also hiked the Pedestal Rock trail. While we did not have time to hike the bluff trail on this trip, the pedestal rock loop was about 2 miles and easy terrain minus the parts that were right along a drop off to the next level of ground below. 

These formations have slowly worn away over time, creating these "pedestals." My dad and I climbed down around the base of some of the pedestals, but surprisingly, the best views are from the level on which the trail sits. 

The most surprising part about this hike was that you don't realize until after you have walked past it that you were just walking on a trail that runs over rocks that are floating in the air. Seems nature likes to keep us looking twice.
