Taum Sauk Section:
Be a part of rebuilding the OT in Johnsons Shut-ins State Park on April 4th. This event is organized by the Ozark Trail Association and sponsored by the Alpine Shop in Kirkwood (http://www.alpineshop.com/ ), MO, and will be a wonderful event. Come out and build trail, camp, hike and meet lots of new friends! Sign up at www.ozarktrail.com/workparties Above is a photo of the "scour" from the 2005 reservoir failure where the OT will cross.
Courtois Creek Section:
This section is getting a new section of trail that takes travelers off of the gravel road and into the woods. So far the section from the narrows up to Bass' Resort is now off of the road. Hopefully sometime in 2009 the remaining few miles will be finished that are after Bass' Resort and to the crossing of FR 2265. Above is a photo from along the new trail in the narrows.
