Some of my favorite recent memories with friends have been at Lake of the Ozarks. For those who haven't heard of it, Lake of the Ozarks is a string of lakes that formed by backing up a local river in Missouri.
The lake is so long that you track your location by the mile markers along the shore. Which also means, it has just about every water sport and lakeside attraction you could imagine somewhere along its banks.
In short, it's the perfect summer get-away!
Last year, we went cliff jumping. You know that split second after you jump and before you hit the water...yeah, it feels a LOT longer than a second. It was exhilarating!
My friend also took me night-paddleboarding in one of the inlets. It took us a while to get balanced because we were laughing so hard - that's what summer fun is made of!
This sounds fun. I would love to try cliff jumping some time.

Cliff diving? See yah! *Disappears* Glad you like it. Paddle-boarding sounds okay at least.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. Haven't been on vacation for 2 years. Sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI've been there a couple of times. Really beautiful country! :)
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone jump from a perfectly good cliff?? :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time, though.

Didn't see a snake? I think that alone would keep me out of the water. And agree with Mark about jumping off a perfectly good cliff.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a little flat-bottom boat I intend to take fishing. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you for a Liebster blog award. Congratulations on this honor! Please visit my blog for all of the details.

Not as thrilling as cliff diving, but hopefully still good!
Sounds fun! Doubt I'd be brave enough to do cliff diving.
ReplyDeleteMy co-worker was a cliff diver. He broke his neck about 18 years ago and is now quadriplegic. Still, he says he loved doing it up to that point.
ReplyDeleteWow that does sound fun but I don't know if I'd ever be brave enough to cliff dive - maybe when I'm 80. :) hee hee
