We are very pleased to report that there was no damage or flooding to area businesses, campgrounds or lodges in our area along the Black River resulting from the breach at the Ameren UE upper reservoir on December 14th, 2005.  The flooding and damage was confined to the area around Johnson's Shut-ins State Park.   We are all open for business as usual and invite everyone to experience our haven in the Ozarks this season!  Work to restore Johnson's Shut-ins is progressing. Come and enjoy our area's many attractions this season!  Just give us a call at 573-637-2508 if you have any questions or if you would like us to assist you in planning your perfect vacation in the Ozarks!  For more information on the Johnson's Shut-ins restoration project, please go to http://www.missouri-vacations.com/johnson%27s-shutins-state-park/index.htm.
