The West Is Beautiful but…

We are at Crowder State Park in northern Missouri.

We have a beautiful campsite originally set up for an intern, so it has full hook-ups and no neighbors.

This is our front lawn. There are no high mountains here, no grand rivers; many might find this area dully tame.

But I love these woods. There are oaks and ash and hickories and now maples.

The understory has dogwood and redbuds.

I love the morning sun filtered through broadleaves,

especially when the leaves are starting to turn.

There are rocky ridges here, but also plenty of dirt. Turns out I really like dirt with my rocks.

    Where you’ve been is so much more pleasing with all the trees. The rocks have their own beauty, but nothing like a beautiful wooded area, for my taste. Enjoy.
