That looked like a awesome trip thanks for sharing pics
I used to go to Bull Shoals every summer as a kid and we'd always take one day to go to the White River to swim and catch crawdads. The water was always pretty shallow and we'd use the rocks as water slides. Then we'd catch the craw dads by hand to use on out jug lines at the lake. It was a beautiful place.
Mr. Gastons passing is likely the possible end of Gastons greatness. His only child, a son, got mixed up in drugs, and committed suicide awhile back. The wife is the only owner now, and she has turned it over to some new managers. The Restaurant has been getting less than stellar reviews although our Sunday Brunch there was excellent. The property is now over 300 acres, the grass runway is over 3000' now under Mr Gastons leadership, but the locals we talked to said service is falling, and the visitors are too.
I try and go to Gastons every year with OPA (Oklahoma Pilots Association). Always have a good time. Got a cool video of a Mooney flying by last year.

Lots of interesting planes flying in there, especially on weekends. While fishing on the river, we are right in the landing and takeoff pattern.
