Lake Sunrise, Arkansas, 1994

Sunlight glints off a tranquil lake in central Arkansas. The site is near historic Arkansas Route 7, which goes through Hot Springs, boyhood home of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and continues deep into the Ozark National Forest, where signs warn that the road is "crooked and steep," and weary drivers can stop at a hillbilly trading post called "Booger Hollow."
