Home again

Had a great time! Glad to be here.

Forest and Lakes

Lake Hamilton was nice but 20 mins away is the crown prince of lakes. Sitting in the heart of the Ouachita National Forest is Lake Ouachita. Made up of 40,000 acres, 690 miles of shoreline and 200 islands. Bonus is it's surrounded by 1.7 million acres of mountains/national forest that stretches from Oklahoma nearly to Hot Springs.

Cooling down

It's no longer 103.

Ready for the tour

Pirate Cove, hole 17, Ryder Cummings with the putt....it's gonna be close. Hole-in-one!

With that putt in 17, he's able to hold off the old pro despite the pro having a birdie on 18.

Ryder had three hole-in-ones.

Congrats!

Dinner at the Wharf

Casino? Other?

This lot and house has a long history. At one time it was an illegal gambling establishment. Supposedly when the cops were called the gamblers would run out lower door by the water and jump on a boat and move only a stone's throw off shore. Police had no jurisdiction. Gamblers would wait for them to leave then continue their illegal activity.

Later it became know as the Alexander House. The Alexander purchased it for $150,000 then added rooms and rented rooms. They ran it for 40 years then sold it for $6 million in 2014. They kept part of the lot on the lower left side and built a really nice lake house.

$$$$$$$

This house, on Lake Hamilton, has been under construction for nearly four years at a cost of 9.5 million.
