Out in the backwoods of Arkansas. We are smack in the middle of the Ozarks, camping on the White River. Lots of nesting great blue herons, bald eagles, turkey vultures, eastern bluebirds, turtles, and saw a baby midland water snake, too. They have about a dozen or more indigenous snake species in the state but only about 4 are venomous.
Lots of small towns all around these hills to explore, lots of good fly fishing and a huge lake system with good bass fishing. We stopped by the place where Ranger boats are made near here. They have a really nice building devoted to the achievements of the couple who started the company, Forrest and Nina Wood. Lots of trophies and photos of them with various rich and famous Republican politicians. And a lot of taxidermy victims, too.
