Canoe the Ozarks

One of the taller bluffs and dressed with trees Refreshing in the riffles... Water colors alchemized by sun   Trees of lush greens leaning over water enhance the feel of an intimate stream. And occasional bluffs add even more. The Courtois River flows through the Mark Twain National Forest  and also the Huzzah State Forest... Caves are fairly common on Ozarks Rivers Just enough water to glide down stream... A blue sky, white clouds the lushest greens, the clearest waters A perfect summer day in paradise And on to the campsite with a view Evensong under a Waxing Moon Tonight, will the Whippoorwills croon? Sorcery above the fire (playing with a laser light) a good day, a  good night ________ The Courtois River or Creek is a tributary of the Meramec River in the Missouri Ozarks.  Courtois in French means "courteous, agreeable." Indeed! -and the Whippoorwills were heard in faraway hills... Peace on the River
