Can't Wait!

I am counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the 2007 Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival in Helena, Arkansas, beginning on October 4, 2007. The photo is Pinetop Perkins performing in 2005.
See you there!

Good Stretch!

I could never be an Arkansas Razorback, these guys are so damn flexible. Kinda like Gumby!

This Way!

Right turn only. Ok, got it!

Left turn only. Ok, got it!

Wait a minute......

Elk, Take Two!

Sunday was the Second Summer Morning News and Friends Float Trip down the Elk River. We had 21 people on this trip and we had a ton of fun. We celebrated Neemah's birthday and "shot-gunned" beers. No GPS or camera this time so I cant go into specifics but here's the rundown. We floated from Kozy Kamp at the US Highway 71 bridge near Pineville to the Mt. Shira Public Access. The distance was 7.26 miles; the water was about kinda low, clear and wonderful. We had to drag our boats in a few spots. The trip took a little over six hours and we messed around a lot on the river. Our average speed was SLOW with sunny skies and temperatures in the 90s. 21 of us in 10 canoes and one kayak made the trip. The largest group of the summer by far! Zac and Sarah, Brook and Larry, Nathan and Melissa, Pablo and Dug, Ryan and Chip, Marc and Michael, Trey and Samantha, Christopher and Christa, Neemah and Diana, Megan and Matt, and Eric.
p.s. I stole the photo from Nathan's blog.
