Lake Hamilton-AR

A few Sundays ago a group of us spent some relaxing time on Lake Hamilton with a 24' Malibu and one of those brand new Jet ski's equipped with a brake.  I still think it is pointless.  But I am glad I have friends with toys that I don't have.


These are in a weird order but I do not feel like playing the picture swapping game on this blog. The computer always wins.  But I experienced one of the neatest things to date.  One of the fingers on Lake Hamilton leads to the Lake Ouchita Cold Water Dam.  Supposedly the water that falls into this channel comes from the bottom-most layer of Lake Ouchita high above and when it hits the hot air it fogs up like crazy.  Instead of being 100 degrees like the rest of the state, it is about 50 degrees back here, and the water-no joke- is as cold as Lake Superior.  We also saw two otters wrestling around with dead catfish.  You could hardly see five feet ahead in broad daylight.




These 2 are born and raised in Arkansas. Self-explanatory.  They are the funniest people I have met down here. If you could only here them speak.










I wish this was me.  Not quite there.





My friend Derrick and I were the professional camera crew for a bit and went along the boat. Bad news was the video camera was in the wrong mode the entire time so we managed to get NO footage of some sweet tricks that we thought we were recording.

More AR born and raised.







 I still managed to get at least ONE great wipeout of everyone. Here are a few samplers.












There are some really neat lake homes on the lake.












This one took first place.  They had a LEGIT personal bar down on the water. Neon signs and all.  


The sunsets down here give the ones up north some stiff competition!
