Yes, we set the alarm, got up at 5:30 a.m.. We finished the getting-ready-to-depart routine, and met Jeff and Tanner at their house. Jeff led the way to Tompkins Bend Park, Lake Ouachita, AR.
Tanner crawled in the motor home with us, climbed into bed and slept all the way here...and stayed asleep until 11:30 a.m.
The lake is at flood level. The campground here has been closed all week until this morning. We arrived at check-out at 8:45 second in line, waited until the camp host arrived about 9:30, and were allowed to drive through the campground. Jeff knew which camp sites we wanted, and being second we got our choice. As you can see from the pictures, we are at water's edge, wonderful views.

| The water is definitely above normal levels. |

| Even though the water is high, it is clear.
The rest of the day was spent in getting unloaded and set up. Some of us may have even taken a nap this afternoon.
A short explanation: Trisha was in-service training again, but worked through the noon hour so was finished at two. Brady and Landon were in drivers' training until two. Then Landon had base ball practice at 4.
Trisha and Brady drove down as soon as they were finished. Landon drove down as soon as baseball practice was over. Whew! lots of driving.
Dinner consisted of potatoes in foil packet, mushrooms in foil packet cooked on the grill; and steak grilled. Um-m-m, good!
Jeff and Landon got the boat out of storage and there was short evening boat ride as the sun was setting. What a beautiful ending to the day.
