Mirror Lake, Ar

What a great day! It started with the WINs hugs'n mugs and then I meandered down to the Sylamore Creek and cast a line a few times to no avail. I then went to the Ozark National Forest and took a beautiful, peaceful walk along the stream to Blanchard Springs. The springs flow from the mountainside and make their way through the forest to nearby Mirror Lake after flowing from the nearby caverns.

On the way back I stopped at Mirror Lake. This is a beautiful little lake that is stocked with trout. Everyone lines up on a dock and fishes most often with power bait. There were only 2 of us there and each caught the limit of 5. (Well I presume he caught one more after I left.)

After 4pm circle we had a pot luck. Guy barbequed a brisket, ribs, chicken - the works, which was the main course for a potluck. I am attempting to fix a peach dump cake in the dutch oven. Later: Well, I hope it was good cause I did have an empty pot. Thursday morning I drove south and was home by noon!

That was your peach cobbler? It looks delicious, but I couldn't eat another bite.
