Fly Fishing Bull Shoals Dam

Rain, Rain Go Away!

j

We had flash flood watch all night and then at 4 AM we were awakened by the weather radio issuing a flash flood warning for our area. What to do? We weren't sure if Arkansas would let us drown if we didn't get out now. There was a terrible camping incident the year before in Arkansas and we couldn't remember the exact facts of the story. Oh it was frightening to say the least! 

We decided to stick it out but we stayed on alert and kept an eye on the water level in the river.

Soaring American Bald Eagle

Bull Shoals White River SP Restrooms

 I have talked to friends that have not been camping since they were kids and the memories they have of the campground facilities are horrifying memories to them. The dark spider infested vault toilets, who didn't dread going to the rest room late at night with only a flash light that had dying batteries? Well, those are the days of the past my friends, I wanted to share with you the facilities at an Arkansas state park Bull Shoals White River State Park. They send cleaning crews I know at least daily. 

St. Patricks Day

Started my morning just right beautiful patriotic red white and blue bird flew into the tree just ahead of where I was sitting. Then a woodpecker came through as we started a morning campfire. There's nothing like having your favorite cup of mojo by the early morning campfire.

I'm not kidding what is that I see across the White River in Arkansas? An American Bald Eagle! No way! Yes, Way! 

My camera battery went dead and I had decided to get my shower when I returned the hubby points out a little bird that was hopping across the camp site. It had mucus in it's beak that had a marshmallow like texture and I think it was suffocating. My hubby gathered some leaves and made it a make shift nest by the picnic table. It started using the leaves to clean its own mouth out.

We had to move the little make shift nest due to rain moving in. He did not make it.
