RED BUD HOLE, ROUND HOUSE & DOLLY PARTON
I hope I got your attention with that title.
One of the things I find fascinating about the fishing here on the White River are the various names given to the "honey holes"--the shoals & the hot spots where the guides know the fish hang out. If you are new to our stretch of the river, it's always advisable to let the experts put you on the fish. For additional enjoyment, ask your guide to fill you in on the stories behind some of the names!

Seeing With Fresh Eyes
Are you a photographer? Amateur or professional, there is so much to capture in the Ozarks and especially our small corner of beauty with two rivers running through it! Many have come to this area to add to their portfolios and have not left disappointed. Customers will e-mail their most precious shots after returning home and we love to see the resort through their eyes! Many who visit for the first time say the pictures on our website have one flaw- they don't do this place justice! So grab your camera bag and make plans to visit anytime of the year. You will find an abundance of natural beauty, wildlife, wildflowers, birds and barns, just to name a few.

MANCATIONS? MANTRIPPING?
Every winter my husband and I put our heads together and sit down for a brainstorming session where we try to think of ways to bring more guests to the resort. It's our marketing meeting of the year; borne out of a sense of "Look what everybody is missing" and "Gosh-- the fish are out there--Where are all the fisherMEN?"
Are you willing to plan the Ultimate Fishing Weekend for 7 of your best buddies? For only $44.00 a night you can reserve a Deluxe Lodge with all the comforts of a cedar cabin on the White River. Throw in another $35.00 and you can rent a 20' jonboat for the day.
Make an annual event out of it- a trip you'll never want to miss- just make sure to put somebody else in charge of organizing it next year...

IT IS NOT OVER
Christmas officially ended for our family on January 6th- the Feast of Epiphany- the feast of the Three Kings. I am slowly getting back to work, and like most of you, putting away the Christmas trimmings for another year and boxing up all the memories to cherish again at some later date.
Our children were all home with us and it was wonderful being together. I hope all of you were able to spend some of the Christmas season with your loved ones. Thanks to all of you who sent us Christmas greetings and well wishes for the new year.
As our son was packing up and getting ready to go back to school for his last college semester, he wistfully repeated a sentiment that we have voiced many times to our children over the years: "The party's over." The children, and sometimes we, want the fun to keep going. But we know we must go back, just as the Three Wise Men went back. This year, this time, we want to go back a different way; not complaining that it doesn't last, but rather holding on to the hope that peace and goodwill will not be boxed up and put away until next December comes around again. Isn't that really our best resolution of all?

Happy Thanksgiving
We are so blessed, but often forget in our every day "busy-ness" (business) to stop and give thanks for the important things in life. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did and thank you for being a part of our lives.
HOW POOR ARE WE?
One day a rich father took his family to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son just how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"Very good Dad!" replied the son.
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Yes I did!"
"And what did you learn?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a river that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have the whole horizon." When the little boy was finished, his father was speechless.
His son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are!"
Our outlook on life depends on the way we look at things.
What we may think of as riches, others may not want.
What are the most important things in your life?
