Village Creek State Park

Posted by PeterFlorczak on

Wynne, Arkansas

We are still in Arkansas. We moved from a wonderful park called Lake Catherine State Park. We couldn’t get a reservation for the 4th of July so we moved a few hours east and a little closer to our Maine goal. Village Creek is a splendidly beautiful park and it is almost empty on this holiday. When I asked the attendant why, he simply replied, “‘cause it’s just too dang hot!” I can attest to that.

My e-bike just turned 100 (miles that is) on this 4th of July
That’s Kim floating peacefully on the surface of the water. I was not so lucky 🍀

We took the foldable paper kayak out on Lake Catherine and Kim had a wonderful couple of hours. Then it was my turn. I and it did great, for the first hour. Then I noticed a little bit of water coming in. About the time I got close to the shore I just sank! Later we figured out that it is rated for 200 lbs and I am 195. Fortunately I am a good swimmer and we got the boat back to shore. We are going to try to exchange of for the next model up which will support 300 lbs. Hopefully, I can stay away from too many treats until then?

  3. Peter! You don’t look 195. It must be your height. You are in great shape. It’s bloody hot in Jefferson Heights too. Last night, it sounded like a war zone here. Illegal fireworks? Not round here. This may as well be a green zone for fireworks. I’m pretty certain we heard semi-automatic gunfire buried in there somewhere.

    Loving the updates! Carry on!

    Shimon.
