Old Highway 25

Donna and I took a summer camping trip to Old Highway 25 Campground on Greers Ferry Lake. We had site #22 reserved in the G loop. Site #22 had electrical service and water available at a community water spigot between #22 and the neighboring site #21.This site in loop G is on a finger of the park about 20' above at the shoreline. 

Site #22

Directly behind the campsite we were able to pick out several trees to hang our hammocks. This was a great place to soak in the scenery and enjoy the breeze off the lake.


Swimming below the campsite was a great way to cool off on the hot July days. 

Who-da-thought-it? Need to inflate a swim float?  Attach a CPAP machine. No huffing and puffing required. The hose fits perfectly around the fill valve. Low pressure and High volume just like me.

Wednesday afternoon was Zoey's last day of Heber Springs High School cheer camp. Zoey and her HSHS cheer team performed several cheer routines before the awards ceremony.

Thursday was fun on Greers Ferry Lake day. We rented a pontoon boat from Dam Site Marina and spent the afternoon with all the Heber Springs Hendrixes. We cruised the east end of the lake and found several spots to jump in for a cool swim.

From the anchored pontoon boat I was able to capture some good pictures and video with my DJI Mini 2 drone. This was my first time to ever fly over water and return to land on a boat. 
Evening after a day on the water we had dinner at Brothers BBQ in Heber Springs. A prefect ending to a perfect day.
