It’s our annual Pot Luck picnic. It’s at the Big Maumelle Pavillion again this year at Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Go towards the visitor’s center, but take the left fork and come down the hill to the pavillion. The fun starts at 6pm. Bring a plate and drinks besides an item you’d like to share with the others. Show up about 4:30 to canoe or kayak before the pot luck.

It’s still hot, so lets spend a day swimming and floating at Dragover on the Ouachita River. Dragover is a bend in the river that nearly comes back to where you put in. It’s a five minute walk on a road to get back to where we started. Bring a boat or float and enjoy a little white water and a fun time. Meet at the Chik-fil-a near Bass Pro at 8:00 to carpool or be at Dragover by 10:00. Bring wet shoes and lunch.

We are back at Second Presbyterian for our October meeting. At this time our speaker has yet to be announced. Drop in for the latest news about Arkansas’ environment and see what’s next on the Outings Calendar. Get on Zoom if you can’t attend in person.
