| The picture below is of the hill on 7 approaching the campground. I had stopped there years ago. It had impressed me, so I chose it for our short stay. It is at Nimrod Lake at Forche Junction, AR, the junction of 7 and 60. |
| Nimrod Dam, a Corps of Engineers' project. They have the cheapest and best sites. Water, electricity, views. 13 and 14 bucks. |
| Late evening at the campstite. |
| Let the games begin. I had noticed a WMA (wildlife management area) coming up 7 and decided to head for it. It did not disappoint. I was flying along with 2 wild turkeys at one point. I guess that makes 3 wild turkeys, total. |
| I should have taken pictures of how the road degenerated. I thought I was getting myself into a fix, again, as it was getting rough and wet. Then all at once it opened up and to my left I saw this bridge, a needed sign of civilization. I have been stuck on another ride and it is not pleasant. Those memories were getting clearer. I stopped and enjoyed the moment. Temperature in the low 70's. About 9AM. |
| The gps indicated that the road from the bridge headed right up to AR 60. I was now ready for some hard surface riding and there I would head. Hit next to continue the ride. |
 |
| The road hugged the side of the hill, descending, steeply. The foliage is so thick that it masked the rugged relief of the area. |
| The Forche River |

| Make sure to put the side stand on a plank and not in a crack. Yes, I have to think about such things. Stuff happens to me. |
