This past weekend I made my first trip of the year down to the Little Niangua at the Fiery Fork access. The campground near the river has been one of my favorites in the area, specifically the one site directly overlooking the river. Apparently someone thought the campground needed to be reconfigured. The one site that overlooked the river is no more. They've cutoff the road that used to be the main loop and added several spurs extending up into the woods. The new sites look like the standard state park type, consisting of just a gravel pad; I assume fire rings and picnic tables are on the way? Seems pretty disappointing considering the place gets a decent amount of traffic but is rarely full. Before long someone on a golf cart will be coming around collecting money. Also, why expand away from the river(the main attraction) and up into rocky, uneven ground in the woods... Here's a couple pictures for anyone familiar with the area:

I made a trip out this weekend; I put in at Lead Mine CA and paddled upstream a ways. On the way back down, I found a camera near the big gravel bar just down from Mint Spring. It's a point-and-shoot type, silver Sony Cybershot. Water got in behind the display screen so I assume the camera is toast, but the SD card is fine. There are a handful of pictures on the card. Looks like someone had several successful trips worth of pictures with this camera. Let me know if it's yours.
