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.

Beautiful Vortex
Beautiful weekend on the mountain, brothers Dave and Scott were up and we had a great time hanging outside. Saturday afternoon was spent clearing the main loop trail in Outlaw Hollow, which is in the best shape since the great ice storm of 09. The same can be said of the bench area around the cabin, just about all of the widow makers are down,and most of the trees look pretty healthy. It's been a long time coming and a lot of work, but the results are worth it. Saturday night we had a big feast, then we ignited the tallest and most awesome vortex ever, hard to believe we can just keep topping ourselves, but we do. My estimate was the monster was 20' tall, but Dave and Scott thought it was just 18', whatever, but it was incredible. Wish I had photos, Dave send me those pics. Sunday, we all loaded up the 4 wheelers and went to the upper Buffalo Wilderness to ride the trails just outside the wilderness area. We rode 25 miles of some awesome trails with Cooper and Matt driving their dads most of the time. Matt and Coop spent the whole weekend hanging out with the big dogs and really enjoyed the record vortex and the 4 wheeling, it was special for the dads as well. I have purchased a raft to be able to paddle the Hailstone run and Richland creek, so I am praying for rain big time, I hope I haven't jinxed it by getting a new boat. The time for good times has come, so let's get started .
