Here are highlights of October's Traveler:
• Clearwater's crappie bonanza. This southeast Missouri lake's shad population has exploded since high water levels finally went down and crappie found themselves with a huge food supply. Anglers trolling crank baits have been filling freezers since mid-summer. There's still time to get in on the fun. Bob Todd tells how.
•Canoehenge? Steelville art has its points. A fund-raising project by the Steelville Arts Council has placed artistically-enhanced half canoes all over town. It's worth a visit before the canoe art is auctioned off later this month, writes Jo Schaper.
•Protection of natural resources is no luxury. Publisher Emery Styron is concerned by the bipartisan contention that "job-killing" environmental regulations are unaffordable in these tough economic times. Can we afford not to protect our people's health and our fish, forests and wildlife, he asks.
•How do I love thee, Shannon County? Barbara Gibbs Ostmann is unabashedly crazy about the natural and human-built attractions of Shannon County. She offers words and photos to prove her love, including a striking cover image of the 140-ft. tall Jam Up Cave entrance on the Jacks Fork River.
•Relive the Battle of Fredericktown. Steve Parsons recreates the battle where the famous screaming eagle, Old Abe, got her start, and Traveler provides a schedule of events for the Oct. 21-23 reenactment activities in scenic Madison County.
There's much more, including our regular lake and river maps, recipes, a fall turkey photo essay and reviews of Joel Vance's latest book and a new audio version of Mitch Jayne's novel, Old Fish Hawk. Online or in print, don't miss October's Traveler.
