Old Highway 25 Campground

October 9th 2015 Donna and I packed up the camper for a weekend with the family in Heber Springs. No spaces available at JFK Campground so we drove on to Old Highway 25 Campground near Tumbling Shoals, AR. Found a nice campsite in area G site #21 with a view of Greers Ferry Lake. 


Addie, Lily and Zoey stayed Friday night. Although they look pretty calm below there is never a dull moment with these three girls. 



Saturday morning we were treated to some impromptu choreographed cheer routines.   

 



Off the back of the campsite were big boulders down to the lake that made for a good photo op.

Saturday we went into Heber Springs to the Clebourne County Ozark Trails Festival on the Cleburne County Courthouse square. We met up with Matt & Sarah. Kerry and Sherry had driven to Pine Bluff, picked up mom then came to the festival. Everyone went back to the Old Highway 25 campground for chili and the Razorback football game. The Razorback game didn't go so well against Alabama, but the chili and treats were a success on a really cool fall evening.

 Almost Halloween!


Every trip ends with a good laugh when it comes time to go to the sewage dump station. Leaving Old Highway 25 we went to the dump station where two camper trailers were ahead of us. Just the thought of pulling the sewage makes Donna ill. On this day the guy in the trailer in front of us (I think know from somewhere on an Arkansas outdoor TV show) was out talking to the guy who was at the dump station emptying his camper. Apparently, Donna doesn't think this is a time for a social event. When it came our turn Donna courageously gets out to help me hook up the drain hose, but ends up back in the truck with windows up before I get started good. Something about the "glug-glug" of the black water through the flex hose and a faint waft of the content. Like the guy in front of us said "the worst part of camping is backing up and pulling the waste tanks".
