Sept 15,16 2023 Greers Ferry Lake, Heber Springs

 Friday was a nice morning. We left Ozark around noon headed to Old Highway 25 Park on Greers Ferry Lake. Its just slightly north of Heber Springs.  It was a easy drive of about 3 hours.  When we checked in and got to our loop I stopped and did not enter. My site was at the end and had a pretty good slope down. I walked it out and decided  I couldn"t make the loop. (dont know why my typing changed).  I wasn"t sure I would even fit in the site. There were two guys who said they would help as I backed the trailer all the way in.  It really wasn"t hard but I barely fit. My back end was hanging over the pad and we couldn"t really use the back door.  The angle was so bad I couldn"t get the ball off the hitch. I finally pulled the pin on the hitch and just pulled up and let the sleeve pull out from the receiver.  I certainly didn"t have enough pads to set the rear jacks. Luckily someone had left some pine blocks and I used the to set the back up.  After getting everything set up we decided it was worth it. We are on a point with gorgeous views. (pictures do  not do it justice) and a huge site. The lake is really low but still nice and cold clear water.  That evening we had steaks for supper and a well earned Happy Hour.  Again ,on our travel day Susan did really well with her back pain. It was nice and cool Saturday morning around 52 degrees when Cooper and I took our early morning walk. I had to put the furnace on to warm up the trailer. We fired up out fire pit and watched the sun come up.  Around 10 we went into Heber Springs to pick up a few items and to fill up my propane tank for the fire pit. There was a little seafood market that I saw so I stopped on the way back and checked it out. He had a good selection but is was a little pricey , but being so far from the gulf I suspect shipping was expensive. I got a quart of his seafood gumbo and it was pretty good. Susans back pain got worse and she did not have a good evening. Hoping tomorrow will be better. 

I was glad someone left these pine blocks

The slope is more than it looks.

Had to back in  all the way down this road.




It took all my cable to get Susan tv.  175 ft
