Re: Dierks

By the way if you haven't been here before the sign at the top of the ridge pointing down to Horshoebend was taken out by the tornado. If you are coming in on the Lake road, the one by the water treatment plant it will be the first road to the left past the plant. If you are coming in from across th...

Re: Family Camping

Well I guess I will chime in! They don't call me ouachita hiker for nothing! We would love to have them at horshoebend but along with Albert Pike I would like to mention Shady Lake. Near Albert Pike, very near the Caney Creek Wilderness area. If they are up to a great day hike they could hike in fro...

Re: Dierks reservations

Don't know if I would call it a gift. I call it DOING THE RIGHT THING!

I know if there was a vote who in our area that would get the vote for the worst camp host is!

Not saying here!

Remember the movie "Field of Dreams"

If you build it they will come!

Yall Come!

Re: Hometown Throwdown -- June 13 (1st in series)

I just found this being new to the site. Water shouldn't be a problem that is for sure! How many camp sites do you all think will be needed? I will work on reserving the sites if needed. I will talk to Tiffany in the morning and see what we can do to help out. If I can help out email me at triggtom1...

Re: Dierks reservations

Per the can: yes it was empty and squashed! Made it easy to pack it out! As for reserving a camping spot. I am going to rope of site 10 and 11 for you guys. If a bunch of folks show up you can expand around the pavilion. That is if it isn't reserved yet. Ty will be coming in from Russelville and she...

Re: Dierks reservations

For those that don't me on sight. I am the older guy, 56 so I guess that qualifies as an old guy, gray hair (lots of that :) ) gray mustache and goatee. If out in the heat of the day I will have on a wide brim straw hat. If I am down on the river it will be to watch not hassle! Looking forward to se...

Re: Dierks reservations

Ricky, thanks! I try, as my wife says I make a good host because I can walk up to anybody and start talking! They guys that were in the pavilion on the Memorial Day weekend found that out when I just showed up and looked at the video that was playing. I am interested in this stuff! By the way the Bl...

Re: Dierks reservations

Clif,

Thanks for the welcome! I sure would like to get up your way on the Buff but being a campground host has it's disadvantages. I must stay here and look out for the campground. Not to say that it isn't going to be a exciting summer with the high water we have!

Re: Dierks reservations

By the way the last word that I got about the water release is that at the present level the lake won't return to normal till July the 11th! You all will have plenty of time to come down and play! As far as the trail work most of the time we don't start till the end of Oct., we went in in Oct, end o...
