Walking Near the Sky

Today’s walk was high in the sky.  Astrid wanted to fast walk up Mount Nebo and Laura joined her.  They drove me to the the top and I walked there.  That’s the place to walk in hot weather as it was really lots cooler than down in the valley.  The mountain was named Nebo by Mrs. Louis White after the Civil War in the late 1860s. She named it after the mountain mentioned in the bible from which Moses had a view of the Promised Land. The Whites and other Dardanelle families lived on the mountain during the summer months. The White home stood on the bench by Nebo Springs until 1934.
