Welcome, Pigeon Creek!
I've spent a bit of time in the Ozarks, around Eminence. We used to canoe the Current River back when all they had there were roughly cleared camping sites and an outhouse. My grandparents went there on fishing trips back when they had to hire a guide and wagons to get in.
I'm glad I got to see it when it was still pristine. What a beautiful place!
I live in Southern Illinois, where we are actually in the foothills of the Ozarks. We have some pretty spots too!
