| THE CABIN | ||||||||||
|
THIS CABIN WAS BUILT BY ME IN 1972-73-74, WHILE ATTENDING SOUTHERN STATE COLLEGE. IT SIT'S ON A HILL OVERLOOKING THE POND. I MARRIED MY WIFE CATHY IN 1976 AND WE LIVED HERE UNTIL 1981. HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT CHIMNEY, IT'S MADE ENTIRELY OF PETRIFIED WOOD. ELEVEN TONS OF IT. MY FATHER AND I HAD QUITE A TIME BUILDING THIS FIREPLACE, I BUSTED A FEW KNUCKLES SPLITING THAT STUFF UP INTO SMALLER PIECES. | |||||||||
| SECOND DOCK BY THE PAVALLION | ||||||||||
|
THE BOYS ENJOYING A SUNNY AFTERNOON FISHING, THE ONE SITTING DOWN IS MY 19 YEAR OLD SON TIM, HE'S 6'7" TALL. HIS COUSIN NICK IS THE ONE FISHING. THE PUPPIES YOU KEEP SEEING IN THE PHOTOS ARE MY JUST ACCQUIRED MOUNTAIN CURR'S. THEY MAKE FINE SQUIRREL DOGS. | |||||||||
| A SHOT FROM THE DAM-Applet | ||||||||||

ANOTHER SHOT FROM THE DAM. THIS POND IS ABOUT 2 ACRES IN SIZE, AND WELL STOCKED WITH LARGE MOUTH BASS, CRAPPIE, CATFISH AND FOUR KIND OF BREAM. THE CABIN IS JUST UP THE SLOPE TO THE RIGHT. THERE'S ANOTHER SMALLER POND BELOW THIS ONE. MAYBE ONE ACRE IN SIZE. THE INDIANS USED TO CAMP HERE ON THE NORTH SHORE, THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, OF COURSE. THERE'S ALWAYS ARROW HEADS TO BE FOUND LYING AROUND. | |||||||||
| THE OLD CLUB HOUSE | ||||||||||
|
THIS OLD CLUB HOUSE WAS BUILT ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO. I TOOK THE WALLS OUT AND OPENED IT UP TO MAKE A PAVILLION. ITS SITS NEXT TO THE DOCK WHERE THE BOYS ARE FISHING. THERE'S RUNNING WATER, A LARGE SINK FOR CLEANING FISH, COOKERS, CIELING FANS AND PICKNIC TABLES.

THE GRAND VIEW
FROM THE NORTH SHORE. THIS IS
ABOUT 150 YARDS OUT
BACK OF MY HOME IN
ARKANSAS. IT WAS BUILT
BY MY FATHER IN THE LATE 1940'S, AND
HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY PRIDE
AND JOY. YOU CAN SEE
THE BACK OF THE CABIN THROUGH
THE TREES. THERE ARE FOUR LIVE
SPRINGS FEEDING THIS LAKE. ABOUT
5 THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER FLOW THROUGH
IT DAILY.
