    OMG!! This is a fantastic video!! Again, thank you!! It literally brought tears to my eyes... at about the 5:15 mark or so, where you take a dunk in the Buffalo River! Well over 20 years ago my late best friend Byron and I were going to do a canoe fishing trip down the Buffalo. At exactly that same spot, the guy with the canoe dropped us off to start our float. I'm getting the gear ready on the bank, hear a splash, turn around... and Byron had done exactly what you did!! That spot and that event are etched into my brain forever!! Byron died of cancer 3 years ago this July, and I miss him dearly... and just seeing you enjoying the Buffalo at that same spot... it made an old man's heart swell with joy!! I cannot thank you enough! Byron and I spent many many a trip up near Bull Shoals, Flippin' and fishing the White and North Fork Rivers. It would have been cool had you ventured up that way towards the Missouri border. At Bull Shoals State Park you can camp right on the banks of the White River... just FYI. I did look at the 2021 Guide... you have a lot of photos throughout that guide. I've ordered my copy!!

    We spent a memorable birthday weekend at the Crescent Hotel. The best things were ghost stories by the bonfire with local storytellers & nighttime tour of the hotel.
    It’s always a good time to go to the Ozarks but my favorite is fall. The color is amazing & fewer crowds than New England or the Smoky Mtns. And lots of small town homecomings/festivals in the fall too. The people are warm, friendly & welcoming

    I've lived in Arkansas my whole life and in the Ozarks for most of it. There is a old saying, "it's not that the mountains are tall but the valleys are so deep".

      Except they aren't deep or tall, correct? Some people call Ozarks tall hills.
