October is for getting out

We're in the swing of fall here in the Ozarks. Carrie and I have done a lot of getting out this month and will continue to get out with a trip planned for next weekend. Here's our list of recent hiking trips and outdoor activity.

• Lost Valley

Lost Valley Pygmy Rattlesnake

• Hideout Hollow
• Artist Point
• Buffalo River Trail (Goat trail, Carrie)

Upper Buffalo River, low water, from Big Bluff

• Beaver Tailwaters (Patrick)

• White Rock Mountain Loop
• Hawksbill Crag (next weekend)

The fall color should reach it's peak this weekend. Everybody get out and enjoy while you can. The long, depressing winter will be here soon.
