Crystal Valley Music Festival

This weekend my neighbors had a music festival at their house. A real music festival! With hippies and camping. I really wanted to go check it out but never did. I noticed several cars there on my way home Friday. I just thought they might be having a little party. Later on after a short nap, I decided to go to the grocery store. To my surprise the cars had doubled. People (hippies) were hanging out in the street toting ice chests, chairs, and tents to the back yard. I even saw a few guitars. It reminded me of Bonnaroo or a going to a Wide Spread Panic show. It was almost ten by the time I got back from the grocery store. there were over 100 cars parked along the street and in the vacant lot at the end of the street. You could hear the music until about 12:30 and then they quieted down. I'm sure they stayed up way later. 

I snapped a few pictures on my run Saturday morning. There were still about 30-40 cars at 7:00. Several people were packing up and leaving. 
Their campground through the trees. 
My neighbor across the street was out when I finished my run. He said they came knocking on doors Friday afternoon, informing the neighbors they were going to have a small music festival and gave a number to call if there was a problem. They didn't want us to call the Sheriff. I wasn't home and the dogs were in the yard, so I didn't get the memo. It's not like I would have called them in anyways. Like I said, I really wanted to crash the party.

It was just an odd thing to happen on our quiet, dead end road, outside of city limits.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Floating the Caddo River

We floated the Caddo River with some friends Saturday. The scenery was beautiful and the water was flowing nicely. It took us a little over four hours and we only flipped the canoe once.  We came to some quick rapids and very low trees. While trying to duck under the trees, so our heads didn't get knocked off, we both leaned too far and there we went. Luckily everything was in dry bags and tied down. Well, almost everything. Kev was trying to put his phone back into the dry box but didn't get to it fast enough. His phone got wet, but seems to work ok after sitting in a bag of rice for a few days. I didn't have my shoes strapped tight so they slid off. A friend in front of us managed to grab one shoe and one paddle. We carefully walked the canoe across the rapid and dumped the water out. I will admit I was pissed off about my shoe. I didn't talk to Kev for awhile. I know it wasn't his fault, but I wanted to be mad at someone. He promised he would replace th
