Lake Catherine State Park, Hot Springs, AR, Feb 21-Mar 1 2026

Horse racing weekend with the Belvedresi’s, Hendrix’s, and Joe Schwartz. Camping spot was ideal as it was right on the lake, BUT they had just done a controlled burn and it was so smoky! Reminded me of being back in the Montana wildfires.

Ate out at the Red Oak Filling Station. Had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and mac n cheese. Oh so filling, but good!
