The Peel free ferry crosses Bull Shoals Lake connecting hwy 125 because the bridge is submurged under the lake. You go from Peel Arkansas to Protem, mo.
Here's a map.

LOL...Increase the value of your house by adding an inground pool...That happened to us a few years ago...We had a lot of snow and then a lot of rain and the sump pumps were just keeping up with the water and we lost power...That really sucked...Now have a battery back up...

Man the good roads just get started in Mena. Head north from there into the Boston Mtns. just watch your gas, it's few and far between.
The ride over the ferry into Mo. is a good one too, you can go into Branson from the back way or go visit all of the old mills north of Gainesville.
Where does the ferry start and end?

There were several rescues yesterday and last night, some people just don't fear driving into water. No wind here just lots of water, Bull Shoals lake came up over 9 feet! That's a hell of a lot of water in that big pond. Makes the ferry boat ride a bit longer My daughter wants to go ride it if it stops raining, they let her drive! Bull Shoals? Guess I need to call dad and see how they are doing, he lives in Mountain Home and has one of those big drainage creeks behind his house.

From NBC news this morning. Cloudy and 53 here. Hit some fog on the way to work this morning...
Flooding, Winds Kill 2, Force Evacuations
National Weather Service Posts Flood, Flash Flood Warnings From Texas To Ohio
POSTED: 11:30 pm PDT March 18, 2008
UPDATED: 5:50 am PDT March 19, 2008
Authorities near Dallas are still searching for a 14-year-old who they believe was swept down a creek drainage pipe by floodwaters during yesterday's heavy storms.
Authorities in Mesquite, Texas, said the teenager was playing with a friend near the creek when he was carried away by the rising waters.
The National Weather Service says more than six inches of rain fell on parts of Dallas Tuesday.
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is expecting a backlog of stranded passengers Wednesday after the storms canceled hundreds of flights. Airport officials are telling travelers to be patient as airlines rebuild their schedules. There have been more cancellations Wednesday.
The National Weather Service has posted flood and flash flood warnings from Texas to Ohio, with tornado watches in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
The storm is blamed for two deaths in Missouri, parts of which could get 10 inches of rain or more before the storms finally stop Wednesday. About 300 of the 900 homes in Piedmont were evacuated. Dozens of people were rescued by boats.
In Arkansas, authorities searched for a man whose truck was believed to have been swept from a low-water bridge.
