It is so neat seeing familiar territory in this post! Each year my family spends a week exploring and being river rats on the Buffalo National River. Then we head over to either Bull Shoals or Lake Norfolk to spend another week on the water. Good times!

I would love to go hiking in that area around this time of year.. I just can never find anyone willing to brave the cold with me. Then again, I bet you can't blame them, can you? Haha!

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. I am glad you didn't have a completely horrid time. :-)
