The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart…

Yesterday, after many a false start, we finally made our way to one of the star attractions of Arkansas, the Petit Jean State Park. The park has a fascinating legend, that of a French woman named Adrienne Dumont who disguised herself as a cabin boy named Jean so that she could follow her beloved fiancée to the new world. She was named petite Jean by the crew due to her diminutive size. Near the Petit Jean mountain, she fell ill and rest crew her learned about her true identity, including her fiancé. Her last wish was to be buried on the mountain overlooking the view.

I took this image a few feet behind what is marked as her grave, and this is the view of the valley she enjoys from her final resting place. The sun was still pretty high up while I was there. Thankfully we had a decent amount of clouds in the sky. I had to wait a bit for the clouds to block the sun, but the wait paid out in the end.
