May 13---Travel Day to Dequeen Lake

We left about 8:30 am this morning. We didn't have a long drive today, maybe three hours. It was a pretty drive thru mostly back roads till we hit 71 at Waldron. We stopped at a sonic which was by a  a nice store which had big bays to get fuel. This layout probably brought both places a lot of business from traveler's. I wish we saw more of these as sometimes its hard to find a place to fuel up with the trailer. Anyway we made the Bellah Mine Campground (Corp of Engineer Park) a little before noon. This is a small park with most sites waterfront or at least waterview. Most of the sites have lower level decks which contain your table , firepit, and charcoal grill. Most of the sites are first come first serve but there are some which you can reserve. Its a quiet park with great views. The wind was really blowing , about 20-25 mph so I didn't break the kayak out. I am gonna wait till tomorrow and hope the wind lays.We just spent the evening sitting out and reading. We are going to do a lot of this for a couple of days.
