I'm having a great time in Arkansas spending time with my family. Hiking at Devil's Den State Park, mountain biking at Hobbs State Park, jet skiing on the lake and climbing at Sam's Throne in the Ozarks. Today we went kayaking down the Buffalo River- a very scenic river meandering through a canyon with 300 foot blue limestone cliffs streaked white from water stains. The water level was very low but there was still a few fun mini-rapids. The forest through the whole area is beautiful. In places trees tower and overhang over the clear green river. I saw lots of turtles and snakes and fish and several types of birds along the way. When the opportunity arose, I would land my boat and do some overhanging deep-water bouldering and cliff jumping. Aside from the vegetation, I could have been in parts of New Zealand. I spent the last night in Arkansas at a backyard tiki-torch/firefly/full moon-lit barbeque.
