Ozark National Scenic River (NSR)- Big Springs 16 July 2013


 Ozark National Seneic River is comprised of many different sections  One of these is the Big Springs area. Big Springs is the largest spring in Missouri and one of the largest in the world with a daily average flow of 286 million gallons.

  We took a hike around and above the springs early in the morning, which by the way is the only way to do this hike in the middle of July. Along the way we saw many deer and birds. It was a very nice hike and got the ole heart pumping along. By the time we were done we were ready for breakfast.

 If you do not want to cook, then the lodge provides a pretty good meal as well. All in all it was a pretty nice stay at this site and we saw a number of deer and other critters. Although I have to say the deer are pretty darn small.
