Nice trip to my neck of the woods!

I'm guessing by the flight path and the amount of docks in the water that your lake picture is actually Lake of the Ozarks. I spent several weekends at my buddies place there in college, I'm guessing the bridge in the pic is the MM highway bridge in google maps.


I know how time sensitive these trips can be especially with Halloween on the line! If you have time send me a pm and maybe we can meet up for lunch, local Ks flying or a tour of TableRock!

Not enough docks in the water for it to be Lake of the Ozarks. It isn't a Corp lake so the shoreline is filled with homes and docks for most of the lake.
