More time in Harrison, Arkansas

We had a nice ride to Bull Shoals Dam. Bull Shoals Dam was completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1951. It is the fifth largest concrete dam in the United States. Including the portion located in Missouri, the lake totals some 45,500 surface acres. Almost 1,000 miles of rugged shoreline is open to visitors and 60,000 acres of public land provide a variety of opportunities. This is a very nice palce to visit. The weather was still in the 100's and again made the ride just a little HOT!! We are always glad to make it back to the campground and cool off in the AC. Chuck had a boot blowout the second time I have been with him when his boots have just come apart, and they were Harley Boots!!  Thank goodness for duct tape!! We ate at Gaston's, a neat restaurant on the water. It was even mentioned in Southern Living. It was pretty good food but the facility with all there STUFF was even better.  Here are some pictures of the ride.
