    Not much to report. Two more days of relaxing and paddle boarding. Are you getting bored with us yet?
    One of the men camping next to us sauntered over and introduced himself. He is a retired Hot Springs Arkansas police officer. He retired last year at this time. We had a great 2+ hr conversation with him about living in Arkansas, retirement and his 18 yr old daughter. (He has had sole custody of her since she was 3 1/2 years old.) I eventually excused myself and he and John talked for at least another hour. It still surprises us when people are so engaging. It was nice to enjoy some good company.
    John is becoming quite an expert on our Blackstone grill. All the goodies are cooked on the same surface, (think of a restaurant grill). Breakfast for supper is one of my favorites!
    We are having difficulty acclimating to the humidity/dew point, as expected. Tomorrow we will head out and explore several more lakes in the immediate vicinity.
