GT and I had an adventurous afternoon. We ran over to Boxley Valley during the rain and did a little hiking. The girls decided they would stay home and chill out and watch some movies. I'm not sure, but I think they may have enjoyed their time without the boys.
The weather was a little rough and we were totally soaked most of the day. Thankfully, we were smart enough to take along some dry clothes to change into for the trip home. We saw turkey, elk, deer, some wood ducks. We also stopped by Hedge's PourOff, but didn't get any pics because it was raining a little to hard to get near the bluff. Next we ran over to Amber Falls and were able to get some pics of several waterfalls in the area. We were shooting for Compton's Falls as well, but with all the trees down from last year's ice storm and the fact we were soaked, we decided to stay in the Amber Falls area. It was beautiful. After GT spent a couple of days at ONSC (Ozark Natural Science Center), he was our trail guide. He was giving directions and telling me the types of leaves and trees as we passed them. It was very informative.
We were worn out by the time we made it back home. Ended a perfect trip when Mel had a great dinner ready for us which included a homemade pecan pie. Mmm Mmm good!

GT didn't know I was going to plant one on him when I snapped the pic. I'm threatening to post it on his Facebook page.
