We went back to my old stomping grounds for a fun camping experience at DamSite in Heber Springs, Arkansas. We had a great visit from Dean earlier in the week, so we dropped him off on Saturday morning at the El Dorado “International” Airport. Then we hitched up the camper and headed north, dropping Daisy off to help her college roommate celebrate her 21st birthday. Then we turned further north and pitched camp. Our friends Jon and Cathy, and their dog Buster, met us up there for one night. They live just 30 mintues away, so it was a perfect pop over camp night for them. We stayed until Monday. While there we went and saw all sorts of my memories. We went by the house my grandparents built, I got a photo on the fence that my grandfather built with his own hands and we would walk on the top of it. It’s a favorite memory. I also got a photo of the house and our old home, but have chosen not to post them as they are other people’s current residences. We also went over to some bluffs not far from where my grandparents used to live that I swam at on occasion. Everyone knows about them now. There were quite a few people. Also, I got a photo at the top of the tallest bluff on the lake- Amphitheater Bluff. When I was a teen, I jumped off it a few times. It’s around 65 feet tall, if I remember right. They don’t allow anyone to jump off it anymore, but that’s okay I’m not young and dumb anymore. Okay…not young. Anyway, it’s still a beautiful view. We also checked out downtown and ate at a couple of restaurants and grilled on the campfire. And my favorite part was swimming in the lake. Greers Ferry Lake is my favorite lake in the whole wide world. It’s clear on the weekdays, seeing down twenty feet. It churns on the weekends due to the traffic. But, the water temperature is really good for most of the year for swimming. And it is so very calming. Little dragonflies will land on your arms and head as you float on the water on your rafts. I always feel complete peace and at home in that water. It was good to go back after 15 years. I didn’t realize I had missed it.
