Saturday morning, Jean & I decided to find one of only two cotton patches located in Henry County. I guess cotton patch is really a misnomer, we found 7 fields of cotton, and know we probably didn't see them all. These fields were in the Henry County portion of McKenzie, along State route 140, and it was very beautiful roads we took to get there!
We left home on Guthrie, went south on Market, out the interconnector to Dunlap. We headed south on Dunlap to Hill road, took Cope-Looney road till it dead ended into Gate 3 road, went north about 2 miles, then proceeded southwest on Palestine road. After about five miles we again turned north onto Gum Springs road which we took up to Tyson road, then to Herondale East which turned into Herondale West after crossing Henry-Midway road. We then went south on State route 140 to Radford Lake road, continued south on Dorsey road, continued south on Ben Smith road to Highway 79 south. We took 79 south into Carroll County, went west on 22 back into Henry County, and saw the cotton at highway 140.
We had a very enjoyable ride, but are thinking it will be even more beautiful when we take the same ride, during cotton picking time, in mid October.
