Ouachita Lake…say that 3 times fast!

Well, after a refreshing nights sleep in the Walmart parking lot, (actually not too bad… very quiet in these Podunk towns), we decided to head to Broken Bow lake. We have met many people on the way who love this lake. We also watched many YouTube videos about relocation here. When we got there, it was a pretty nice lake. We immediately discounted living there due to major traffic and no homes actually on the water. It has also gotten major touristy in the last five years. We decided to keep moving on into Arkansas.
The countryside along the way was loaded with fields of Black-Eyed-Susans. I couldn’t help but stop and take a picture because I was thinking so much of our baby girl!
John almost applied at the Mena Arkansas police department because of their cool cars, (see pic).
Arkansas is a dark horse for us. Tornado alley runs right down the center, so something I am terrified of. For those of you who have not lived through a major wind event, I will take an earthquake any day. We put it on the back burner, but crossing the border into this gorgeous state was jaw-dropping. Beauty everywhere and water recreation is plentiful!
It is home to the five diamond Lakes. Supposedly some of the cleanest and clearest in the United States. We headed for Lake Ouachita and scored a water front site for the next 3 days.Read more
