West Memphis 2026

We headed over to see our daughter and Grandchildren. We got to go out with Samantha, Kaylin, and Kaiden Sunday night. We went to the pyramid for dinner and then we rode the electric bikes around Mud Island River Park.

Monday we had a wonderful breakfast prepared by Gary. We went to Mud Island River Park and Mississippi River Museum. We visited Baron Von Opperbean River of Time. We went through the hidden rooms looking for the mystery boxes. We went back to Melissa's and enjoyed the pool and evening dinner prepaired by Gary. Good eating!

Tuesday we went out for breakfast at the Sunrise Memphis before we had to head back home. Great times with the family.

Barrens Fork and Collins River Kayak

We had 13 paddlers to kayak 6 miles from the Pepper Branch Park in McMinnville to the take out on Highway 70 in the old VFW parking lot. Due to all the rain lately we had a nice flow on the Barren Fork with some fun ripples to paddle through. We stopped for lunch before meeting the Collins River to continue our journey to the takeout. It was a hot day with temperatures in the 90's but the water felt great. Paddlers were Jim Barritt, Ron Dunn, Wendy Fish, Nancy Franz, Joan Hartvigsen, Nancy Juodenas, Craig McBride, Lora McBride, Cynthia Meinerding, Sara Pollard, Kathy Stutts, Brian and Ruth Wolford.
