Desperado, yes, the airport just west of Cave Springs.

We set for about an hour until airport police released us to take a roundabout way to town.

TV reports U.S. Highway 62 west of Fayetteville still closed.

The water's gone down in the upper areas of the watersheds, but the downstream areas remain in extreme flood. One river running west into Oklahoma (Illinois river, same one that closed US 62) exceeded it's all-time record crest over in Oklahoma.

With rain in the forecast for the next 5 days flash flood chance remains high.
