Description:
The latest version of the summertime flight plan called for a venture into the Ozarks. The storms had blown to the east overnight. After a late start to let the fog burn off, it was time for a picnic lunch beside the piney woods on a muddy beach.

There was no time to explore a nice lake on the Little Missouri River and edge of the Ouachita Mountains. Not only was the day too short, but splashing would have required phoning the Corpse office in advance. Somehow that got overlooked in the “flight planning”.

The FAA has a warning for the Ouachita Mountains: “Rapidly Rising Terrain, use caution during periods of low ceiling and visibility.” Apparently geographically challenged pilots are unaware of the Highland Physiographic Province. You can just imagine their surprise: “Who would expect mountains in the middle of the continent?”<br /><br />Indeed, and these are unusual east-west trending mountains. Unlike most mountain ranges they are composed almost exclusively of folded sedimentary rocks (no hot rocks). Back in the old days their sediments collected under the ocean. Then the South American plate collided with the North American plate, pushing the marine sediments to new heights. Once as high and mighty as the Rockies, they are now much more relaxed, only occasionally snaring an unsuspecting plains pilot.<br />

Most days the Arkansas River below the Dardanelle Dam is considerably less swollen. It was a bit bigger and busy after all the rain.

Heading down the wild and scenic Buffalo River in the Ozark “Mountains”. Though one might not suspect it because of the steep cliffs, the Ozarks are really just a large uplifted and eroded plateau. Its rocks are pretty much as flat as when they were formed more than 300 million years ago.<br /><br />The Buffalo River originates in the Boston Mountain region of the Ozarks. It was the first “National River” created after the Corpse of Engineers attempts to dam it were thwarted. It might be better suited for SeaRey had it been dammed, but the white water rafters wouldn’t have had as much fun.<br />

As the softer sediments were eroded, only the sandstone cliffs remained stalwart. The more gentle slopes are underlain by softer shale.

Going into Gaston’s White River Resort is always a treat because it is a beautifully maintained grass strip where pilots get preferential treatment. Parking is next to the river and cabins and fine dining.

I bet it would be Dan, but I didn't have a searey back then. I wonder if you can noodle for catfish from a searey.

I'd be afraid you might catch one, Russ.

Beautiful part of the country. I bought a lot on a runway with access to Table Rock Lake just north and <br />west of you. It's west of Branson, Mo. Perfect for my future home of my SeaRey.<br /><a href="http://www.norwalklanding.com/">http://www.norwalklanding.com/</a>
