Discover Your Perfect Summer Day
HELLO!Are you making the most of your summer? The heat can hamper the outdoor summer fun in some locations. Here are the outdoor activities that have kept us going- HIKINGEven on the hot days, you can still hike! The saving grace in the Ozarks is the tree protection from the direct sun. So while it's still hot (in the 90's), a hike is doable with some extra planning and precautions. My most recent excursion was Ha Ha Tonka State Park. SUNRISES2SUNSETS AMAZON HIKING STORE RIVER TIME!To me, summer equals river time! Whether that be kayaking, or relaxing in the river. The past few weeks have been more of the latter. If you are lucky enough to find a secluded, or semi-secluded area of the river, there's nothing better than setting your chair in the river and relaxing with a drink. To beat the heat, and for some added oomph to the experience, try this at sunset! Check out some of the access points to the Illinois River- SUNRISES2SUNSETS AMAZON KAYAKING STORE INDOOR TIMEOn the hottest of the days, we find adventure indoors. Our newest experiences are escape rooms! Our groups involve ages 13 through 65 with everyone enjoying the fun! This month we have tried 2 escape rooms and have a 50% success rate. If you haven't tried on of these yet, I encourage you to give it a try! We used Experience Escape Rooms in Cave Springs, AR, and had a fantastic experience! What's Next?August is on deck! Some ideas laid out for activities in the area are --> Motorcycle Poker Run --> A Concert (check nearby casinos for some great music!). If you are a 90's country fan, Doug Stone will be at the Siloam Springs Cherokee Casino in August. --> Kayaking! We will definitely get a float in on the Illinois River since that one is less affected by low rainfall. If the water cooperates, maybe a float on the lower Buffalo River. --> Sunrise or Sunset hike at Whitaker Point Check out the latest on Insta! FREEBIE!Free download for your cellphone background... |

“ "True life is lived when tiny changes occur." — Leo Tolstoy Hello! Well, it's been a minute. Life has changed and shifted my path, resulting in new life adventures. Losing my job of almost a decade was a blow at first. But then... I viewed this as an opportunity. I saw this as life changing my direction. It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go. -Jim Rohn The new: I got my therapist license in 2 new states (heeeey there Oklahoma and...
