Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
The colors are beautiful here today on Bull Shoals Lake. If you are planning a trip through the beautiful hills, lakes and hollers of the Ozark's, now is the time.
Here are a few links to some pics I took this morning:
Bear Paws I have even seen in Florida on A dry hill in Grandin Fl. Lebanon TN. still has color after yesterdays wind storm. Don't tell anyone but I heard the leaves whisper; "Hang on for your life!" LOL! Pieere

Beautiful photos! I'm surprised to see cactus, though! I thought they only grew in the desert!
If you know where to look, there are cactus naturally in all 48 lower states. They are also in Alaska and Hawaii because people brought them there. Some cactus can handle cold weather, but most do not like it too wet.

It suprised me too when I first saw them. I believe these are native here. These particular ones are on COE land and there are several patches of them in the area that I know of... The locals call them prickly pear cactus - I'm not sure that is the only or right name.
It can get pretty dry and hot here in July and August so they are probably pretty happy. They die down and look terrible when it gets cold and jump right back up when it warms up enough.
