Part II - Arkansas Lakes

[RicHeaD]

Norfork Lake was by far the best diving. Started at the Jordan Campground Bluffs. Vis 25 ft+ water temps 60 at 70 foot 82 at surface. Wall was great. Then off to find a bulldozer that was left behind when the lake was filled. No dozer but I did find a VW van and a very unhappy turtle, some people just don't like to share. I would even talk about the water snake that didn't wish to share the shore.The next day was off to Bull Shoals Lake. Water Temps were the same, Vis @10 feet. I would place this as my worst dive. Not much of anything. On the way home stopped off at Beaver Lake for 2 days. Vis 20 feet Temps the same. Very interesting divers at the dam site bluffs. There's a underwater zoo of concrete fiqures. Very shooky to look a dear in the eye at 35 feet. Hey Tony, your future boat would really be helpful for all of these lakes. Had a list of dive site to go to, but without a boat. Oh,well maybe next time. Allready working on my list for next year. Maybe Kansas.

I thought that Norfork would be a good lake. We'll have a boat next year for sure and Ark. is just a skip and a jump from home in the country. Also, I plan some trips to Brady Branch Lake. It's a res. for the power plant and should have to good winter temps! I'll keep you posted on the progress.
