We do have some doozies! <BR/><BR/>A bit about the legend of Pickles Gap, where I live, it got its name from a German immigrant who was crossing the creek, his wagon over turned, spilling all his pickle barrel contents. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>As far as Toad Suck goes, according to local folklore, long ago when steamboats plied the Arkansas River and the water wasn't the correct depth, the captains and their crew docked where the Toad Suck Lock and Dam now spans the river to wait until the water level rose. While waiting, they occupied themselves at the local tavern there, to the displeasure of the locals who lived nearby. The residents described the sailors this way: "They suck on the bottle 'til they swell up like toads." Hence the name Toad Suck. The tavern is long gone, but the legend lives on. We even have festival named after it, go figure!<BR/><BR/>Now those would make some mighty interesting paintings :-)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705378309728984562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058347707110501315.post-55301790298385325552008-05-22T10:20:00.000-07:002008-05-22T10:20:00.000-07:00Hi Catherine!I have so enjoyed looking at all of y...Hi Catherine!<BR/><BR/>I have so enjoyed looking at all of your art; and also for discovering Yessy!
