Anyone living in the Ozarks?

Are the leaves turning yet in Ozark National Forest/Mark Twain National Forest areas?

I’d really like to know.

1. Don't think so. The trees in our area haven't reacted yet, we've haven't had a cold

spell yet either. I got maybe one branch in our back yard that's turned red, but its one branch out of lets say, 1000 branches in view.

3. Where abouts are you, generally speaking.

2. I'm a little further south, but we're starting to see some change down here in the Arkansas River

valley.

I would guess that it's approaching peak color further north of here. You might be able to Google the area for best time for viewing.

5. Our cousin is here visiting

from there. When they get off the pond I will ask him. He left there yesterday.

7. I appreciate it.

8. Here you go.

He lives on Taneycomo and can see Bull Shoals and said that they have not started to change. He left there yesterday. He told me that it has been so rainy for the last couple of years that it seems like they just fall off mostly. November he said if they were going to change it would probably be then.

10. Thanks a lot. We will probably...

go in the next week or so anyway, but I was REALLY hoping!

We can do social distancing in the NF like you wouldn’t believe!

11. Have fun!

I would give anything to be able to leave here for a while but it is not in the cards. Just enjoy yourself and be safe. It is such a pretty area.
