OZAR

Van Buren, MO

Flew into Memphis this afternoon (Memphis airport is a brick monstrosity, the baggage claim reminded me of a hospital waiting area).

Drove the 3.5 hours to Van Buren, MO. Fell asleep and read since NE Arkansas is only a tad better than Eastern Colorado.

So Ozark National Scenic Riverway is the official name... it's the only national scenic riverway I can think of, but I'm sure there's others. Don't know much about it yet, but I'll be here for 3 days; so I'll give you what I can. I know the Current River is the focus and that it attracts fishing and boating, but mostly tubing/rafting down the river. Sounds like a good time to me.

I guess there are many fresh water springs around here. Hopefully we get a chance to check them out.

This is gonna be a long trip (> 2 weeks likely), so lots of posts. So check it out daily and get on me if you don't see one daily.
