It’s good to read about your part of the world and reminisce. Thanks. I lived in the Ozarks and other rural areas of that part of the Midwest for a few years.
Well, come on back! We go to the Ozarks often for vacation. We especially like the Buffalo River. It is much less crowded than the “rivers” (think sluggish mudholes) in East Texas. Friendly people, just not a lot of front teeth. {;)}
