Well, if we had to isolate ourselves somewhere relatively safe during the COVID-19 quarantines, this was the place to do it. Shady Lake Recreation Area in the Ouachita Forest in Southern Arkansas is just gorgeous. We ended up staying about six weeks here, which is our longest boondocking experience so far. Our solar panels didn't help as much as they usually do because our camp was so shaded, so we put over 40 hours on the generator to keep up our batteries, do some Instant Pot cooking, etc. Our little RV continues to amaze us!

We did do a little socializing with some fellow campers. Tom was a great guitar player.
I even broke out my flute and played along one evening
Check kept busy by building a stone staircase down to the stream
