With the heat index predicted to be in the 105°-110°F range, we thought the best place to be would be in a lake, so we decided to revisit the Big Bay Campground on Table Rock Lake. Once there, the only thing to do was alternate between laying in the lake and sitting in the shade.
I had to get quite wet in order to get the shot. It wasn’t a hardship though, the lake was as warm as bath water.

We were up early and ventured down to the lakeside to see the sunrise. Fortunately the water was very warm as I had to wade in up to my waist to get these pictures of two fishermen who were quietly trolling the lake.
The peace, tranquility, light and mist on the water more than made up for being up at six-thirty.

Ginger found us a very nice campsite at the Big Bay Recreation Area on Table Rock Lake.

Keith and Jon arrived back in Springfield on a surprise (for me only it seems) visit while crossing the country en route to Florida.
I wanted to show them a bit more of the mid west way of life, and my friend Tom volunteered to take us all out fishing on Table Rock Lake.

The scenery is wonderful, and we saw only a small part of the lake.

Tom found a very picturesque spot for our fishing. It was also very quiet, which suits me.

My son Keith and his friend Jon have been spending 3 months touring the US. They arrived back in Springfield on a surprise (for me only it seems) visit while crossing the country en route to Florida. I wanted to show them a bit more of the mid west way of life, so I took up my friend’s Tom’s offer to take us all out fishing.
Tom has been offering to take me out on the lake for ages and what with one thing and another I’ve not been able to set a date. I’d already had a look at his boat, but what hadn’t registered was the 200HP engine, and I don’t think the lad’s had fully taken in the implications of the beast at the back. It was fast and exhilarating, especially to someone like me who is more used to sailing than motor boating. Keith and Jon’s enjoyment of the ride is quite evident in these pictures.
