Another cold morning...a good time to get in the hot tub!

  

 Another picture of the cabin

 

 We had lunch at the Ozark Café (a local favorite we discovered during our previous visit).

 After that we drove around in the area. We made a stop at the (very dry) Buffalo River.

   Throwing rocks

 

 We saw lots of elk in the Boxley Valley!

 We went for a hike on Lost Valley trail...

 

 

 Beautiful!
