Beaver Lake

While we were camping at Crystal Springs it dawned on us that we were 20 miles closer to northwest Arkansas than if we were at home, so we decided to take off and travel west for some more camping. Site 6 at Lost Bridge north was a perfect spot for us and available!  What a nice view of Beaver Lake.

While geocaching on a nearby hill we were provided a fantastic view of Beaver Lake. 

Before long we were off down a winding country road to visit our friends Becky and Ed. Becky greeted us from the deck. 

It was a treat to see her beautiful flowers blooming profuesly on "the Property." What a fantastic home they have and we are so glad they now live in Arkansas! We spent many hours visiting and had weigh too many meals with them but enjoyed every second of it!

Back at the lake I enjoyed watch this heron near our campground. He would stretch his neck as he called for some company! 

We did make a trip to Fayetteville to visit with Will. He shared a leaf from the nearby tree so Leon could feed the goat. Needless to say Niles the dog wanted some leaves also.

We did not have so many fires at Beaver Lake as the evening had warmed considerably but we did have a few for roasting marshmallows. Is that a look of excitement. They go great with chocolate covered mint cookies!

Yes, we will return to Lost Bridge and hope to get this same spot. It was named for the bridge that was built nearby to cross the White River before the lake was built. The county on the opposite side of the river chose not to connect a road to the bridge and it became known as the lost cause bridge. Or so the story goes. This was certainly no lost cause for us.
