Well, unfortunately, the vlog camp in Missouri is not in the Ozarks - the Ozarks is approximately the bottom half of Missouri and the top half of Arkansas bounded by the Missouri river on the north and Arkansas river on the south - if you look at the topo version of google maps it's sort of dramatic where the planes on the north and south turn into the hills and hollers of the Ozarks in the middle. The reason the Ozarks was settled later than everywhere else, largely by people from the Appalachians who were used to the terrain, is that: a) The land is terrible for growing food; b) While not mountainous like Colorado, the land is plenty hilly enough, and riddled with spring fed steams, to have made it difficult to travel; and c) The Osage were pretty grumpy about whites moving in. Therefore, most sane people just went around when heading west ... but enough on the Ozarks.
However, I've talked with (whined at) Bill about the place he chose (not being in my beloved Ozarks) and it turns out he's done a lot of research and the place is perfect as far as having the comforts and other stuff we need for the conference, and Bill has good relations with the people and it's very reasonable in price and it will be totally cool! (And if the spirit moves anyone they could drive an hour or so south and find the Ozarks, and I could certainly give them advice on places to visit). ...
