Sherry has a friend from back in NVA who also owns a home just outside Conway.
She told us we had to visit this town as it has large living Oak trees
and a historic part with a River-Walk!
The walk is along this river – known local as THE BLACK RIVER!While these pictures do not show just how black this water is – you could see nothing!
I tried to see into the water – but it was black!
I guess there is a chemical released from the Cypress trees that line the banks –
that leaches into the water – turning it a almost black color!
It just gave me the creeps not knowing what or if anything is in there!
The trees and bushes were really beautiful as was the new walk way!
From all the rain they had – flooding of the River-Walk!A portion of the walk was under water – making it so we had to find a way around it!Geese swimming in parts of the park under water! You can see the water mark on the base of the trees!
We also came across a marina – with docks and boats – this area seemed to me – to be like a campground for boats! There were a number of boats with people living on them and they looked to be in pretty rough shape! I would not want to take them out onto the river. There was bathrooms here so I assume the people used them to bath etc.
These are some of the better looking ones – some were decorated outside for Christmas – others had lawn chairs and some had just things laying around!

Dottie & Jim and I go way back – I was there when they got married.
Jim & I worked together and played softball together in the mid 70’s.
We met Buck and Cindy through them and ended up moving
into their neighborhood next to them and Mike & Carol.
Everyone smile – Cindy – down – smile – Cindy down – look this way!
Believe it or not – this picture was not easy to get –
They all were doing something other than looking! Lol
Now tradition demands a little Fireball –
And Cindy and Sherry are in charge of that –
Calling the “SHOTS” so to speak!
Jimmy is the organizer –
placing them the perfect way! Lol
Now – a couple of us – Cindy – Mike and I –
like to cut it with Rum Chata !
I am not much for wine or the hard stuff
but I can do the shots this way!
Now Captain Mike told his son –
“THESE GUYS CAN DRINK” !
BUT – we were on the boat for a total of 8 hours –
and I could not even sip my beer –
The boat would make you chip your tooth!
Cindy Sherry Me Carol
We really did not have that much!
A lot of water –
some beer
and everyone laughing!
Sherry & Cindy
The boat was beautiful – powerful and lots of room.
A 300 HP. V8!
You would have to get it up to 15 MPH just to have it plane out!
Mike said the fastest he had ever gone
was somewhere South of 50!
I think at one time Jimmy got it up to 35 MPH!
And that my friends was as fast as I wanted to go!
