Old Highway 25 Park

September 5, 2019

Back to Heber Springs to stay at Old Highway 25 Park which is one of our favorite campgrounds on Greers Ferry Lake.  In fact, we stayed in the same campsite G22 that we had back in March. The main reason for this trip was to see Addie's first performance as a Heber Springs High School cheerleader at the high school football game. With the kids back in school Donna and I camped by ourselves. We arrived on Thursday afternoon and stayed through Sunday. Campsite G22 does not have a dedicated water hookup and as soon as I started setting up camp the neighbor lady in G21 came out to disconnect their water so that I could connect and fill-up my fresh water tanks. We carry a "Y" hose connector and I installed it so we could share the water which worked great.

 
  This location on the Loop G peninsula is a particularly good spot to take in a sunset.

Lots of trees to setup hammocks and watch the boats go by from the top of the big boulders on the shoreline (or just take a nap).

Friday night we went to the Heber Springs football game. Heber Springs was playing the Clinton Yellow Jackets for the Battle of the Red Trophy. We got to see Addie cheer for the first time. The temperature was a sultry 92 at kickoff, but a great game just the same. Heber and Clinton traded touchdowns with Clinton coming out on top 28 to 27. I was a real heart breaker for Heber Springs.

Even with the heat and humidity the Panther mascot was working the crowd.

 Donna grabbed a few short videos of the Heber Springs cheerleaders.

Donna and I went to Matt's house on Saturday evening to watch the Arkansas Razorbacks play Ole Miss.  The best part of the game was Pizza Pie-Zazz pizza and wings. The Razorbacks took a 31 to 17 beating in their first SEC outing of the 2019 season.

Headed home on Sunday after what was a great three day trip getting to see all of the Heber Springs family. Ready for some fall camping weather.
