In 2011 I began construction of our dream home on the cliffs of the Osage Gorge in Newton County Arkansas. I designed the house around the incredible site and spent 2 years building the place as my full time job. I now live here with my wife and 9 year old son. The Buffalo National River is only 3 miles away, and we enjoy all seasons, hiking, paddling, and swimming in this beautiful park. Follow along on all the cool adventures and fun.

Last Days of Summer
Looks like one last week of 90 deg. temps, then the highs for friday and saturday are only supposed to be in the upper 70's. Like every year, once september roles around, the weather starts to cool off fast. Todays will probably be our last swim in the river for the season, so I think we will just spend the whole afternoon there. The weather in August has been awesome, cool temps, rain!, and great cool nights just perfect for deck fires and hot tubbing. Another awesome thing about this August is the amount of shooting stars I have seen. Some of these sightings have been spectacular, with long tracks thru the sky trailing long tails of stardust. I wonder why I see so many great shooting stars, but it's not much of a mystery, I spend almost every night outside in one of the least polluted night skies in America. Rock Masons and gutter guys are supposed to be working today, but you never know, it's a holiday and they might figure that out and stay home. I will do a couple hours of work before heading to the river, or so I thought, just got back from checking jobsite and both are working. Makes it hard to get something done myself, just too much in the way. Guess I'll have to go to the river, dang. The end is near, and the next 3 weeks will be a marathon race to get as much done as possible before moving in. It is so cool seeing the details and finishes that were so carefully thought thru, and planned, come into reality. Everything looks just right, and even though Robyn and I have battled at times, we seem to have struck the perfect balance on every issue. Hope you think so too.
