Dry Run Creek - Norfork Fish Hatchery - October 22, 2024

Updated December 3, 2024

Since the last update we had a deluge of about 13 inches of rain on November 3 through the 5th at my house. The entire area was flooded in many low lying areas, including Ponca. Only one shower since then so we are still hoping for some drought breaking rains. I was fortunate to have both my sisters visited me this past fall. They both had just a few days to spend and I tried my best to be a good host and guide. You can read about where we went and what we did at The Tale Of Two Sisters.

Situated mainly within three states, the 60,000 square mile Ozark Plateau stretches from eastern Oklahoma to southern Missouri to northern Arkansas. The Ozark Mountains, rising to a height of 2,560 feet in Arkansas' Boston Mountains, represent the largest area of highlands between the Appalachians and the Rockies. These rolling hills and low mountains offer rugged terrain, eroded by water from springs and rivers flowing on a journey to the Mississippi River.

Sparsely populated, the Ozark region is unknown to many people, conjuring up scenes of pioneer cabins among the vast hardwood tree cover, where life takes on a slower pace. It is indeed a place where you can get glimpses of an earlier way of life, but it also holds many beautiful, scenic discoveries within its rolling landscape.
