Reminds me of camping out one time in northwest Arkansas. Was heading home when a big storm blew in. Coming down one blue highway a large tree had fallen across the road. Made my way to Lake Dardenelle (sp?) ... car being blown around on the road, dark, dark, dark, heavy, heavy, heavy rain. Got to the check-in desk getting wet even through my rain parka. Wind whippin', lightening crashing. Left the check-in, found a curbside and PARKED! Slept in my car (a Subaru wagon, by the way ... full-lay down seats in the back ... foam pad and sleeping bag ... not bad). Finally slept, storm still brewin'.
Work up the next morning to a gorgeous sunrise that lit up the cooling stacks of the nuclear power plant across the lake. Whoa .... I had no idea that park was built that close to the plant. It was a beautiful park, but kinda spooky to see posted throughout ... even on the trails ... evacuation routes and directions ...
I left fairly quickly ...
Smiles,

P.S. Y'alls photos are AWESOME!
