Pontooning Greer's Ferry Lake...

Photo by Motorrad Media After Steven’s accident yesterday, we decided to stay at the Greer’s Ferry Campground in Choctaw Arkansas an extra day. This day was to be a recovery day beginning with a much needed sleep-in. However, our happy slumber was violently disrupted by our camping neighbor revving his Harley at 8 am. Although somewhat disgruntled because you don’t get a lot of sleep when you’re working 24/7, everyone got up and got busy. Chris and James went into town to find a motorcycle shop to get new handlebars for Steven’s bike, Steven hit the lake with Mathew for some fishing, and Michael worked on the web site. It may have been Mathew’s first time fishing but Steven was the big winner catching what was estimated to be a 14” Large Mouth Bass. The locals were very impressed saying it was one of the biggest catches they’ve seen.

James and Chris were not able to find a bike shop that would work for their purposes. They did however, come across a Harley shop that was interested Photo by Motorrad Mediain the project and graciously exchanged a pocket bible and three “pennies from heaven” (a penny with a cross cut out of it to keep each of the three riders safe) for a couple of "Road Less Traveled Movie" T-shirts. That afternoon while milling around the Marina, James ran into some wonderful people who took him, Steven, and Mathew out on there Pontoon boat for a tour around Greer’s Ferry Lake in exchange for a tank of gas. On top of the incredible scenery and views, the guys saw an eagle’s nest, and they dove from a 25 foot bluff, and also saw one of only three huge bridges that cross the lake. James was concerned about Steven jumping off the bluff with his hurt knee and after only a couple of jumps convinced Steven to take it easy back on the boat.

After three straight days of 105 degree temperatures, the night was very hot, very humid and very buggy. It became very obvious why they say the Arkansas State Bird is "the mosquito". We all got some nasty bug bites that night and looked forward to leaving the campsite in the morning.
