I can already hear the blues soundtrack playing from a speaker on the front porch as I pull into the parking lot adjacent to an old house in Crossett. It s late on a Wednesday afternoon, and I m in this far south Arkansas town, known as the Forestry Capital of the South, to visit Chester and Laura Huntsman.
