>>1982164fair enough but as other anons have stated its one of the few decent /out/ states West of the Appalachians & East of the Rockies that is in the midwest because otherwise the midwest is pretty shit. Also the ozarks are pretty great besides the fact that the lake is now filled with boomers and new money yuppies. Mark Twain forest is pretty good and the sheer amount of free use conservation areas the Dept has set up is such a bonus compared to other states conservation dept sites and the Ozarks is where I plan to retire deep into the wilderness.
