Ozarks' Huzzah Conservation Area Hike
"About a mile farther, and at the top of a steeply inclined trail, The Narrows appeared. ​ ​Ridges, or Devil’s backbones, in this state have always intrigued me. The Narrows is just another term for this geographical formation—where a hilltop actually stretches out into a hogback ridge, allowing the viewer to look down on two sides. In this case, The Narrows divides the Huzzah and Courtois creeks. And it’s really quiet up there—really eerily quiet, with just the wind songs in the treetops."

Due for Renovation Soon: A Mill in the Ozarks
Supposedly, the Falling Spring Mill will be renovated starting in the fall of 2019. We can hardly wait to see it, but it's beautiful as an old structure right now and stands near the 13-foot waterfall that drops out of a rock bluff. #fallingspring #marktwainnationalforest

Folk Art & The 'Second Summer Complaint' in Ozarks Cemeteries
While sleuthing in Ozarks cemeteries with a knowledgeable author of a Maries Co. cemeteries book, I learned about folk art on tombstones, and found some way cool examples. I also learned about the terrible "second summer complaint."

It's the bluest spring in all the Ozarks. It would be a great place to visit any day, any time of the year. #bluespring #ozarks #missouri

From Noblett Lake to Topaz Mill to Ray's Country Store - The Accidental Ozarkian
“We have to stop,” I said to my husband, as we whisked by Ray’s Country Store, on the corner of Highways 76 and EE, a few miles away from Topaz Mill. It was a modern-day hippie combined with old timey general store.
