They should have fired everyone involved with tearing the old store down. They didn't need the space and it would have been a great place for a museum featuring the park and the history of Missouri trout fishing. It was after all a historic building. I'm surprised the bathroom and the lodge are still standing.

Probably closing it. I'm just guessing, but it gets flooded out about 1 out of 3 years with the lake level at 654. With the 5' raise they may think it will flood too often to keep open.

The whole area of southern Missouri, northern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma has had a good sized population for decades. All this area was free range at one time. I'm not sure when free range was abolished in most of the area, but I do remember it was ended in Oklahoma as late as the 60's.

Yeah it would depend on the number of acceptable conferences and I think the AL/AU games shows that some way to pick wildcards to even up the numbers should be in the mix. The first game match ups would be irrelevant unless places were added, but I think those should be left to the polls.

Don't think they're tagging the wild ones. Pigs are like cats, if they wander off they will survive just fine. This one sounds strange however because they aren't normally aggressive unless the are defensive of piglets.

I believe sometime in the mid 60's. Their place and Vogels on the river represented the park very well. Lot's of camping close to the stream so kids could have some freedom and the experience that went with it along with comfortable lodging for those who didn't camp. It was truly a family park then. The change to a more resort setting started with Sam Welch, the park super and Jim Rogers, his buddy. One of the best campgrounds for the fly fisherman was above the spring along the creek. It was shaded with big cottonwoods and you could walk to the stream in the morning. There was another across the Whistle Bridge that allowed people to fish the zone 2 and 3 without turning a key.

Well the bowl games have started and some questions will be answered and some will not. My first thought is how is the new format committee going to address the situation if they see results similar to this year? You have one given, FSU is undefeated and from a major conference. After that it gets sticky just as it did under the BCS. You have 5 teams with one defeat, again from major conferences. You have 7 with 2 losses. I have to mention the ones with because of the glaring fact that Stanford is ranked ahead of 2 teams with one loss and all the 2 loss teams, yet their losses are to an unranked team and the 25th team. They are said to be better than Baylor, Ohio St, Mizzou. Mizzou lost to the 2nd ranked team and the 9th, OSU lost to a one loss team which lost to a 22nd ranked team and Baylor lost to a 13th ranked team. It seems that there is some magic in the Pac 12. Bottom line is I don't think the new committee will change anything, too many faults with the polls them selves. The committee will be looking at a flawed process. The bottom line is that the major conference winners should play it out. No polls involved, no committees, just conference winners with maybe a wild card or two.

I drove by there Wednesday and there was no indication of any changes. The signs were still up, even the office sign. I didn't drive into the lot at the store. ??????

I didn't read a lot of comics when i was a kid, didn't have a lot of dimes and the radio was free.

Well no, no and maybe. If you haven't been below PS in awhile you might be surprised to learn that with the new level reaching the steeper banks the small rise doesn't really affect much. There is no longer an east bank to fish from between Silver creek and the dam for all practical purposes. Taneycomo doesn't go up and down 3 or 4 feet, at least not the greater portion of it. By the time the flow spreads out down lake it doesn't have much of an effect. They run Powersite to take advantage of the flow from TR so there is no separate schedule. The outlet is well under water now and probably not that strong given the fact that the fall isn't all that much now.

When I was a kid the town I lived in had a soybean plant and there was nothing better to load a slingshot with. You could load your pockets up from the leaking elevators and go hunt your enemies with snacks and ammo in the same pocket.

It's wet here and my porch thermometer says 37 degrees. We don't do well with ice where I'm at, we have more trees than weeds.

I think you're right mic. They tend to think they are still in the ground and consequently get longer than usual reaching for the sun. It's hard to hide a covey behind a steel T post.

I hate to be negative, but the truth is most of Herters private label tools were not the highest quality and these would have to be examined to see where they fall. The materials can't be dated and even the Mustad label isn't that old. Herters isn't either for the most part, 70's I think. Her best bet is to piecemeal for what it's worth to individuals. If she has the flyrods to go with it that would be a different story. If someone wants some old fly tying labels i think I have some Pennsylvania Warehouse stuff yet.

I would disagree Gavin. Good fiberglass is worth restoring if the original has little collective value. Glass has some good qualities that were left behind in the drive for faster rods. They're great for throwing fluff.

Not worth $400. Other than the labels and boxes, most of it is the same materials that we use today and can't be aged.

A lot of those old rods clean up real well. They generally lack decent guides in quality and numbers, but make good starting material to learn to wrap.

Welcome!

I believe in the earthquake theory. We had a Siberian Husky when we were living in Oregon and if you know anything about them you know they can be very vocal. Our husky started into a 24 hour almost constant vocalization at different levels and then quit. We found at later there was a noticeable earthquake during that period in the Portland area, about 125 miles or so away. Our other animals might have been acting up also and we just didn't notice, but with the husky it was easy to detect.

Someone was out this morning. I'm not always where I can hear them though so I don't know if they had a lot of targets.

The Sands has changed owners, but I don't know exactly when and whether you stayed with the new or the old. During the season I would trust Vogel's if they still own it.

I know it did just a little before 7 this morning. Sounded like a lot from above Rockaway, probably in Bull.

Laker I haven't talked to Charley in close to 25 years. We were friends at one time and I'll just leave it at that. I've known him, Ed and Kay since Springview had a view of the spring. I still have good feelings about Ed and Kay, like everyone who knows them I think.

Lets not forget that smith is only 13 games into a new team, and I don't mean just to him, a new coach and all the learning curves that goes with it. I'm not saying he's the new sensation, I'm just saying his team has the same number of losses as one of the elite QB's who's in his second season and that ain't bad for us. My sympathies OTF.

I was under the impression that Missouri ran a different defense in the Auburn game? They then went back to the old for one series at the start of the second half. Did I get that wrong?
