Ozark Live Steamers
Our friends Rick and Lois run miniature live steam locomotives. Twice a year they gather at a friends farm in Fordland, Missouri with a group of like minded enthusiasts. We tagged along. We all camped on the property and rode trains all weekend. At night they got together and played bluegrass music.
When a train comes by, jump on. With over two miles of track several trains were running at once.
We rode trains late into the night. The red hot cinders puffed out of the smoke stacks and were quite a sight.

Our camp site at Lake Ouachita State Park. It had two levels and was very nice.
The Caddo Bend Trail is four miles long over a peninsula into the lake.
