Ozark National Forest hike

The ice storm of 2009 wreaked much havoc in the national forest. They've cleaned up the downfall in the recreation area/campground but the trails still evince the magnitude of the destruction. Many areas of the trail have obstructions to be climbed over, snuck under, or detoured around.



The scenery is magnificent and the ups and downs yield a good workout. We hiked 2.5 hours, about 6 miles round-trip, and enjoyed seeing blue birds, deer...



...and this cute armadillo...


Then we rewarded ourselves with a sumptuous meal at Red Lobster!
