Outdoors

What if you were able to drive somewhere where you didn't have to battle drifts as high as your car. You could pull right up in the parking lot without tromping through 6-8 inches of snow to get to your spot to have fun?

If you're planning on getting outside in Missouri for a break and for some fresh air, outdoor facilities are still available for use. Indoor facilities are another thing.

As I take some trips down memory lane I think of the days when I was in the Boy Scouts in Butler, MO Troop 321. I can remember camp outs where we would throw on our backpacks and hike from the Scout Hall to our destination.

At what point do the leaves win? I'm wondering how many more times will I have to go out and round up more of the little crispy critters.

Since winter slipped in on us last week, (December 21) I figured it might be a good idea to make sure you're prepared for the next few months of what we could see in Missouri.

We got a little skiff of snow overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. There were a few minor problems from it. You know at some point we we'll see more of the white stuff. I mean, c'mon...it's Missouri. I'm just glad we're not getting slammed with the snow storm that's on the…

So with the nice weather we had on Thursday I decided to take care of some more leaves. I knew we probably wouldn't see temperatures in the mid/upper 60's for a while. (but again this is Missouri!)
I first had to dump about nine bags that I had taken care of earlier in the week...

We see the changing of leaves late in the summer and, of course, as fall arrives we see many more changes in those leaf colors. Eventually they start falling off the trees. Who makes the executive decision of the leaves detaching themselves from the tree?

Preliminary data from the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) shows that young hunters ages 6 through 15 harvested 3,899 deer during Missouri’s late youth portion of the 2020 deer hunting season, Nov. 27-29.
