Foothills of the Ozark Mountains

Good Morning. It was another very quiet, peaceful night here in Lake Wappapello State Park. Maybe too quiet. Again the only sounds we heard all night were each other breathing and our furnace going on and off.

Day 122. No matter where you are you expect to find things common to the environment around you. We are in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, on a lake, in the forest, surrounded by trees. We thought we would hear owls hooting and birds chirping. We thought we would see squirrels, deer, rabbits, chipmunks, etc.. Nope. Nodda. None. Well, maybe we’ve seen some wildlife, just not enough. Where are all the forest creatures? They can’t all be hibernating. So far we have seen 2 Canadian geese, 1 squirrel, and 2 types of small birds which we think are woodpeckers.

Today is predicted to be a nice clear day. Hopefully we will see something and I will be able to get some nice pictures to post. We aren’t in any hurry to leave here, as the weather is warmer and nicer than what we see going up north a little further and we love $8 a night camping fees.

Loving our lifestyle. Have a great day.

Until next time,

Kathryn
