July 8------Beaver Lake

This is where we are swimming

It has warmed up some here, kinda feels like home. When I got up this morning it was 75 and it warmed up to 94 today. We did have a nice breeze so it wasn't too bad. A slight cool front is supposed to come in Wed and it will be nice the rest of the week. We went in to Eureka Springs today , didn't do anything but go to the grocery store and went to get tickets for the Ozark Mountain Hoedown for Wednesday night. You can still see the effects of the drought from last year. Luckily they are getting some rain this year. When we got back we went swimming . The water is clear and cold. It sure helped beat the heat, in fact you are glad its warm when you are in the water. The water gets deep pretty fast where we float. I would say the visibility of the water is 30-40 feet. In the evening we were talking to one of our neighbors who have been coming here for 30 years. Their daughter came over and told us about kayaking the White river. She said her husband would be here tomorrow and they would like to float Wed morning. We are going to get together and coordinate the drop off and pickup. She said the water is moving pretty fast and we wouldn't have to paddle just steer. It makes it easy to float somewhere when you have two vehicles. I just hope it doesn't rain Wed morning. Not much else going on.

Its nice to have a covered table
