This past month has the coldest temperatures and the most snow in many a year. The Ozarks were pretty much snowed in for a full week. Our lowest temp was -7°  and I shoveled about 7 inches of snow out of my driveway. My own house kept power so I did not experience much discomfort. I did have the opportunity to take a few pictures and have included them in the update. My update this time is a hike I took a few years ago and have never shown. It is a Walk in the Ozark National Forest. I did this one in the late fall while staying at a vacation lodge.

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.
