It was hot and humid, so we went swimming in the lake to cool off. Hot shower after dinner. Nice campground.
For the next day's camp, we rode down about 7 miles of dirt road and camped by a river in Ozark National Forest. Very very hard rain that night. Inside the tent stayed nice and dry, though. Campground hosts were a very nice elderly couple from Lake Jackson, TX. Next morning, he invited us in his travel trailer for hot coffee the next morning. After which we departed and rode down a muddy road to some blacktop and on through more torrential rain to Eureka Springs.
If I had to do it over again, I'd do it the same way. Good times!

That was one helleva rainy night. Living in TX, I had forgot how you could hear the rain coming through the trees. It woke us up, and gave us time to get stuff sitchyated. I was in an ultra light with zero leaks. The rain into Eureka Springs was some of the worst I have ridden in. Too bad my fancy HD rain suit didn't stay as cozy as my thin walled ultra light tent!
