There is at least one area in NW Arkansas that has a radio
warning about rising terrain.

Looking back at it, I was well above even the highest mountain in the state
even if there was a 1000 ft tower on top of it... The highest point in the
state is less than 3000 ft MSL... The illusion was definitely there
though... Enough so that even after ATC told me that I didn't have anything
to worry about, I still paid quite a bit of attention to see if the lights
were getting closer... Kind of wierd how that works out sometimes...

The eye just gathers light, the mind sees.
