The weather the past several months has been very dry and also unseasonably warm. I have already had the air conditioner on several times lately. While I continue to battle medical issues I had the good fortune to be invited to witness the 2024 total eclipse from inside the line of totality. A lifelong friend came down from Wisconsin and together we headed into the National Forest to witness An Ozark Eclipse Day October 23, 2023 Another Rainey Day. July 10, 2023 Hiking Ab Creek |

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. |
