Chilling out and roasting mini marshmallows the first night at camp. Two marshmallows at a time - one for Isaac, one for Dad. Repeat.
Arkansas - The Natural State
The view of Bull Shoals - White River State Park from the visitor center. Our campground was around the bend of the White River in the distance. The White River is rather large, probably 100 feet wide in places, but is only 3-5 feet deep in the middle. It is crystal clear and has a rock bottom. The Jon boat was invented in these parts as it handles shallow spots very well. According to the locals, this is world class trout fishing at its finest.
Our campsite was beautiful. We stayed here two nights and could have stayed longer.
After a day of hiking a 2 3/4 mile Bluff Trail loop, biking tandem up a very long hill, playing fish bingo with the rangers, playing at two playgrounds, visiting a bird zoo and messing around the campground............It's time for some food! Ground chuck patties and grilled vegetables both cooked over an open hickory flame, fresh raspberries and tomatoes from our garden in Macon, MO. Afterwards some candybars, a warm fire and Jack London's "Call of the Wild."
