Optional tour: Dr. Gerald Klingaman is offering to lead a post-meeting hike to King's River Waterfall for any who would like to see a bit of the Ozarks up close and personal. It is an easy 2 mile hike along the King's River with a lot of ferns, wildflowers and the like. We would have to car pool to the site - about 55 miles east of Fayetteville. It will be on Friday evening (leave Fayetteville about 3:00 after the meeting breaks up which I think is around noon).
