I’ve added a new Haw Creek travel page and on the What the Hay hay art contest in Montana, as well as a What the Hay photo gallery.
Note: some of the photo pages have links to larger versions of the images.
Held the second Sunday in September, What the Hay is a central Montana hay art contest stretching over 21 miles in Judith Basin County. It features around 50 or more creative hay bale sculptures in fields between the towns of Hobson and Windham.

I am implementing new photo galleries which will be used on the Haw Creek website in conjunction with travel pages on places we have visited. The gallery pages are designed to be viewable with most browsers and computer displays.
Currently, the only galleries in place are from Arkansas:

I will be adding more galleries from Wisconsin, Illinois, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Utah, Colorado, and other places.
The travel pages associated with each gallery will provide useful content related to the places visited, including description, activities, phone numbers, directions and links to related, and useful, websites.
Now there are two.
The second page I’ve completed since getting back to work developing content for Haw Creek is the page for Woolly Hollow State Park.
Woolly Hollow is a nice little state park in Faulkner County north of Conway and near Greenbriar. The centerpiece of the park is a 40 acre reservoir, Lake Bennett, constructed in the early 30s by the Work Projects Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) as a watershed project built for scientific studies of the effect of run-off, silt and erosion control in a specific watershed. See my Woolly Hollow State Park web page for more information.
Administrivia details:
I’ve had the page on Haw Creek for quite some time in a different location. However, I’m moving all of my places and images pages and changing their format. I’ve decided to concentrate on optimizing the pages for search engines as well as adding new, accurate content. A lot of the content will be available in other places on the web, but, generally, not all on one site and, in many instances, the information is sketchy and often inaccurate. My intent is to provide useful and interesting material as well as valuable links that should be viable for a reasonable period of time.

Learn to play hacky sack sitting down. You know the game: propel the small bean-filled sack through the air with your feet while standing. Well, the same rules apply indoors, too. You just have to perfect your butt-scooting technique and remember that knees are legal. The bigger your tent, the lower the odds of getting kicked.

Before leaving on a trip, buy a pack of “survival cards” and highlight facts on them for a game of tent-bound “Trivial Pursuit.”
“Quick, how do you signal ‘need help’ to passing airplanes?”
You’ll kill time and learn something in the process.

Local tourist offices and visitors’ bureaus can tell you where you can pick apples or berries in your area. You’ll have fun doing it and end up with produce to bring home to turn into glorious pies or holiday preserves.

Weight-conscious mountaineers have a twist to the time-honored diversion of reading a good book. They pick a hefty classic that’s agreeable to everyone, then give each person a section to carry. That’s right, just rip the thing into approximately equal portions and read each section as it comes to you.
