We are planning on having treats for truck or treaters on Saturday, Halloween night. 🍬🍬🍬

Thinking of adding a costume contest this year. Pose for a costume selfie and we will let you all judge the winner who will get a free burger or breakfast sandwich at the Cafe. 🧙‍♀️👻

We will update closer to see what the weather looks like. Meanwhile- it’s time to put up the decorations 👻🎃💀

Thanks to Nick who was passing through the Ozarks on the Backcountry Discovery Route a week or so ago. He said he would mail me his BDR route map and he is true to his word🙂

Thanks for stopping in and now I can point other enthusiasts along the route as well.

Safe travels!🏍️

See- all sizes welcome to our trail maintenance - meet us at Shores Lake Sunday October 4th. Message or contact us at Cafe for details.

You don’t have to swing a Pulaski to help the trail. OHTA membership helps put tools, resources, and volunteers where the trail needs them most.

We’ve had these postcards available for a bit but the weekend of October 3rd and 4th is getting closer.

This is a great event. Watch demonstrations of crafts, ask questions, learn a craft, join a guild, get ideas, buy gifts, grab a snack… just enjoy the view and scenery from the highest point in the Boston Mountains on a Fall day.
