Bear Caves, Abandoned Cabin and Legends - One of the Most Beautiful Places We’ve Explored

Legend has it that a young woman from Paris disguised herself as a cabin boy to join her nobleman fiancé on his journey. The sailors gave her the nickname Petit Jean, translated means, Little John. It was only when she fell gravely ill, she revealed her true identity to her loved one. As a final request, she asked to be carried to the summit of what is now known as Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas, where she took her last breath and was laid to rest. Join us as we explore the beautiful and haunting landscape that bears the name of this courageous young woman

An attractive state park, thanks for taking me on your visit.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

You’re welcome. It’s a great place. Definitely one to 📍

[@MerryDowner]

Hello Andrea and Steven. It has been a long time since I have been able to watch your videos. I had to get a new phone and just so busy with home life this is the first time I've had time to catch up with your Videos.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Hi Merry. Glad you could join us. Life happens that way, but hopefully now you can have some time to relax . We’re still here posting every Tuesday. ❤️

[@diane1390]

Steve and Andrea, this place is wonderful. So serene. My sister Brenda and I would love it. It's good to see you in such lovely places!!!

[@PinInTheAtlas]

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit Diane, in fact we are planning to go back and do some more exploring when we can! Thank you so much for enjoying these explores with us!

[@brianshersby8979]

"Hi Steve and Andrea, thanks for sharing this stunningly beautiful scenery, complete with a romantic story. Some of the fantastic rock formations reminded me of Sarah's Crack, (although I can't remember where that was!). Spectacular panoramic view from Petit Jean's resting place, with what I imagine is the Arkansas River in the background. (I had a look at the Petit Jean State Park website.) Great stuff! (Re-posted after it was accidentally disappeared by KZbin)"

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Yay Brian. This time it came through! Petit Jean certainly is one of the most stunning areas we have explored and we most definitely recommend you pinning it. Sara’s Crack is in Arizona just outside Lake Havasu. Glad you enjoyed our explore and thanks for emailing us informing us that YT deleted your comment!! See you on our next adventure. Remember we post every Tuesday 7am PST. Just in case YT decides not to notify you or unsubscribe you which has been happening a lot recently!!

[@lornahardin4563]

What a gorgeous trip this was. One of the most beautiful. The rock steps throughout were amazing. Mother Nature at her very best. Thank you Andrea and Steve for this one.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

One of our favs Lorna. This place should be on everyone’s bucket list to visit. We’re happy we could share it with you.

[@caryward8251]

Hi there, Stephen & Andrea. Very photogenic area and very well maintained. The Centipede has fairly strong venom and I have encountered some over 6 inches long! At 8:07, that is a woodworking clamp called a Shaving Horse for clamping pieces of wood with your legs and feet leaving your hands free for shaping the wood! Sit on right side of structure and push with feet on angled lever underneath the Horse to clamp the wood in place. Very smart people of the’Time’!!

[@seb3317]

What an amazing place guys love the video !!

[@DecayWithUs]

Wow! Crazy place! We love petroglyphs! Might put it on the list, but I can't see us going to Arkansas any time soon... cool shirt 😉

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Arkansas is definitely underrated. We loved it there. Great free camping, great people and incredible places to explore. Petit Jean is definitely one you should pin.

[@charleyfolkes]

What a beautiful trip ! Thank you ! The sandstone rock formations are so beautiful, and such a nicely made trail .. ( a bit higgeldy-piggeldy ! )

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Definitely one to pin Charley if ever you’re in Arkansas. Could have spent days there exploring.

THANK YOU,SAFE TRAVELS

[@rhondaz356]

There's always prethought and preparation, before you explore an area. I appreciate that very much, Andrea and Steven. This one was no different. Thank you for always giving us the best visuals, while providing us with the explanations and information to bring them to life. 👏👏☀️ (I totally understand it, when you stumble on something, and have no knowledge of it. That's a different scenario. I think of that as a bonus.🎉) It's an absolutely gorgeous setting, and it must have been teeming with life, at one time, but there is a certain bit of melancholy about the place. Thank you once again, for another winner, Andrea and Steven. 🌲💧🌸🌲🏵💧 🌺🌲🌼💧🌲

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Thank you so much Rhonda, yes we always try our best to make the best type of video we can with history, camera placement story telling and so on. We still have a long way to go, but we are thoroughly enjoying the ride and all of the wonderful, thoughtful and encouraging comments like yours. Thank you for your continued support of our efforts. It truly means a great deal to us!

I'm from Arkansas and have been here many times. The story is sad. The falls are beautiful there is a way down to it. Just a sad story, but a beautiful and respectful grave sight.

[@richardbeee]

What a cool place. I was going to suggest that bench might be a "Coopers bench", but after hearing of eight kids born there, maybe it doubled as a birthing table.🙂 Sure had some mighty purdy scenery. You could live off the land there for a long time. I'll file that away. May need that info someday. Great job filming and editing. Y'all impress me more and more every week. See ya next week. Watch out for the remnants of Hilary. Especially after filming from her location. Just when we thought she was gone. Well, Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. Peace!

[@PinInTheAtlas]

It certainly was an amazing place Richard. Beautiful scenery. I guess it could have doubled as a birthing table for the 5 kids born there. How did they all fit! See you next week lovely 😊

Centipedes are the poisonous ones, however Millipedes sometimes produce skin irritant secretions.

Think I've seen them before, but do you guys have new shoes/boots? Older ones got worn down? You do clock up a pretty amount of paces on your adventures :-)

Yes they are relatively new footwear. Got them back in March. We do tend to abuse them pretty quickly with the places we venture haven’t quite yet found the comfort/cost/longevity pair we both like.
