On those special winter days when the sun is shining brightly and the temps are not so low I am going to freeze my fingers and toes off, I enjoy getting out of the house and exploring.
When the leaves are off the trees, the lay of the land is even more visible.
Toss in golden winter sunsets and clear star-filled night skies (which are two of my favorite aspects of the season), that’s a great experience indeed!
On one such day a few weeks ago, I found myself on a random drive through the hills and valleys of Franklin County south of I-44.
Without meaning to, I ended up at Chouteau Claim Access.
While this MDC Area is a bit on the smaller side, coming in at 15 acres, it is a gem.
