Dogwood Canyon Nature Park
Dogwood Canyon Nature Park

 

As a winding canyon stream mirrors a brilliant blue sky, a loan fallen leaf floats lazily along the crystal clear current. Unaffected by the beauty surrounding it, the leaf drifts aimlessly through a majestic chasm forged from thousands of years of trickling springs, meandering streams and rushing floodwaters.

 

Do not expect to visit Dogwood Canyon and be as unaffected as the fallen leaf, however. This non-profit haven founded by Bass Pro Shops owner Johnny Morris is nestled cozily amid the Ozark hills of Missouri and Arkansas and will mesmerize and hypnotize you with its deep and intimate revelation of what lies within.  Read More

Orvis Fly-Fishing School

According to the late Lee Wulf, one of the most respected and well-known fly-fishing experts in the history of the sport, "Trout don't live in ugly places". Perhaps that is one of the reasons that it only took one bite to get me hooked for life.

 

On a recent trip to Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, just 30 minutes south of Branson, Missouri. One of the many amazing things I was able to participate in during my stay there was a fly-fishing clinic hosted by the Orvis Fly-Fishing School.

 

Bass Pro Shops owner Johnny Morris who founded Dogwood Canyon has teamed up with Orvis to provide this incredible opportunity in the central part of the United States.  Read More

The Magic of Charleston, SC 

Magic Moss 2 

High tide, low tide, along the battery, piazzas, parishes, pelicans  and shrimp boats. It's been said that some people 'just have a way about them'. In comparison, the low country of Charleston, South Carolina has a dreamy, romantic, travel back-in-time, heady, intoxicating way about it. Indeed, it will envelope you in its grace and southern charm so much so, that you will miss it before you ever have to leave.  Read More
