Brown Bend Info

[fishinwrench]

Thr PC crowd here would shudder if they knew how Brown bend got its name.

The bends of the Osage (between Truman & Bagnell dams) in order:

Big bend

Brown bend (also known as Devils chair)

Ivy bend

Coffman bend

Wilson bend

Porter mill bend

Terrace bend (aka; Lovers leap)

Oak bend

Turkey bend

Shawnee bend

Horseshoe bend

Oak IS above Turkey, right? Crap now I have to get a map out.

Edit: Yep

BTW, This is a cool book if you haven't already read it....

Now Ivy I know about. Got to be one of the poorest areas in the country. Ozark Chapel Methodist Church is real active down there with a food bank and clothing. And now they are building a adult education center. They really do a lot of the right things for being such a small church.

BradVan: Look up a place called Kelly's Landing. It is in the back end of Rainey Creek, has a dock and launch ramp.
