Sherri, Aidan, and I had a great trip right after Christmas and on through yesterday down to the Buffalo River area of Missouri/Arkansas. We hiked Lost Valley near Ponca- an incredible area with caves and waterfalls. Also near Ponca we saw a herd of wild elk (these are western elk restored where the eastern elk disappeared from years ago). We also saw eight bald eagles soaring above the dam on Table Rock Lake, thousands of young trout at the fish hatchery, owls out during daylight, and much more. Aidan also spent a ton of time in the very large pool at the motel working on his swimming (and splashing) skills. All in all we had a great time.
Just a quick heads up if you are in any of the following areas (see below)- Tom Merrill's Xavier University Concert Choir from Cincinnati is touring the Midwest now and the repertoire includes my “Play with your Food”. The other repertoire (which I can't seem to find right now) is pretty classy stuff. Catch them if you can!
