Join Living the Dream Outdoors Podcast host Bill Cooper and special friend and guest Billy Smith of Scenic Rivers Guide Service and Tours out of Eminence, Missouri. Bill and Billy have been friends for decades. They reminisce about days gone by on the beautiful Current River. Discussions range from Leonard Hall, the author of “Stars Upstream,” an incredible account of Current River country, to Jack Peters, the first park ranger assigned to the new Ozark National Scenic Riverways in 1967, favorite bass fishing lures of old time rivermen, current river conditions after the major flood of 2024, the Eminence Christmas Parade, and walleye fishing on lower Current River. It's a show full of fabulous information about Current River Country, ando one can tell it quite like Billy Smith.

We're here, it's November, and acorns are falling from the sky.   Join Katy and Sam as the talk about one of their favorite sections of the Ozark Trail: The Upper Current River Section. We talk a bit about the history of this section, and the hard work that went into taking it from a seed of an idea to the rugged beauty of a route it is today. Big thank you to Kathie Brennan of the Ozark Trail Association for providing us these insights to share! Walk with us mile by mile as we recall our own experience and give you a good idea of what to expect from this very isolated and wild stretch of trail. This section really showcases some of the best the Ozarks has to offer, from the vibrant, spring-fed Current river, to the exaggerated hills, plentiful streams, ridgetop views, and our favorite rock feature that curves into the hillside. It has plenty to offer both day hikers and section hikers, and we hope you'll check it out! When you do, breathe some thanks for the dedicated collaboration between the many different agencies involved, and years worth of blood, sweat, and aching muscles put in by the volunteers. As always, thank you, we love you, we're sorry, and you're welcome!

Is this lethargy, or relaxation? Sam and Katy kick off their first episode of the New Year with a mini road trip. Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, it's off to hike we go... Our quest takes us down a forest service road of dubious condition, down a lovely stretch of the Ozark Trail, and lands us right next to the Current River. We talk about our new venture of trail adoption and the evolution of our gear as we continue to grow and adapt as backpackers. A pack of hunting dogs serenades us, and Kenai lets her discontent be known. Bear with us through some of the audio quirks; let it be known henceforth, that a vehicle moving down a rough forest service road isn't the best environment for recording. Who knew? Not us.

Team Giggles is back! It's a chatty one, folks, so strap in and grab a delicious beverage. The lethargy is real, the breeze is blowing and the dogs are disruptive as we reconnect after a pretty long absence from each other, and our first hiatus from the show. Sam talks about getting vertical and conquering a new challenge through an exciting new program in Missouri. Katy yammers about river time and otters. Feeling bored? Make it a drinking game!

Pull out your milk pens, TV Guide, and Windows XP update manual. The Speech Guys put their minds and hearts to the questions posed by the 1990s and early 2000s TV Dads. A speech given by Debra Barone, played by Patricia Heaton, in the TV series, "Everybody Loves Raymond" is the focal point for discussion. Mike's grandmother, Audrey Tinoco (Episode #12: "Holey Shoes, Mom-Made Clothes, and Spooky Radio Shows in the Great Depression"), makes a return appearance to introduce the crew on the phone call! Here's some snippets to see what this one is all about... "What explains the chasm between "Father Knows Best" and 'Everybody Loves Raymond'?" "Is relatability in TV and film the conceptual response to nihilism?" --Matt "Tim Taylor.. neighbor has eyes and a forehead." --Matt "Men and women can't live together ABC said. So, what holds them with each other then? That was the point of the show, 'Home Improvement'?" --Landon "The housework by parents is even more important now as Grandma Tinoco pointed out because kids just see the parents on the couch--not working, if they're not doing that." --Landon "If my daughter is okay with being treated that way (by a jackass), I'd take that as a fault of my own as a father." --Ross Post-credits scene... Ross breaks down how to do the Current River like a champ.

I grew up beyond rural in a small town of less than 500 people. Most people owned at least five different kinds of animals. Some of them were friends, but most were food. Gravel was just as common as blacktop, and there was usually at least one truck per family. In the summer, baseball and the Current River were king. Dreams were small, and for the most part that is what people wanted. I remember feeling different. I dreamed about being the president of the United States. Support the show

Where did all the quail go? This is a recurring question that begins in the eastern United States and ends in western United States with many ideas and opinions. Like many complicated questions, it has a very complicated answer that we do our best to break down and discuss some of the biggest factors in the decline of the Bobwhite Quail. From habitat loss, to predators, to farming practices, to timber harvest, Kyle and Adam paint a picture of a landscape during the early 1900's to mid 1960's to present day. Bobwhite Quail numbers have been declining for many years now and without an understanding of the problem there will be no real solution. Education is the solution to many problems in our world today and educating everyone that "Predators ate all the Quail," is simply a false statement. Did you know that farming today looks entirely different than it did even 30 years ago? Or that one of the country's largest sawmills sat in south central Missouri, where close by, quail hunting was done with a canoe and dogs floating the Current River. What a changing world we live in!Quail discussions shouldn't all be doom and gloom and this podcast isn't either. We chat about the great things we can do as land managers to bring the quail back. Co-operatives to government cost-share opportunities to incentivize landowners to improve their farms and be rewarded for their work! Deer hunters, don't miss the boat on this, it's important you care about quality habitat as well! #ForLoveoftheLand  Land & Legacy is Powered by Simplecast

Why “devil’s icebox”? It stays a cool 56 degrees all year long. 63 ft. Natural Tunnel known as Rock Bridge, a double sinkhole, and Connor’s Cave. 2. Elephants Rock State Park, near the Mark Twain National Forest is home to the elephant rocks, which were formed from 1.5-billion-year-old granite, and are giant boulders that stand end-to-end like a train of circus elephants. The rocks have created formations that intrigue geologists, are popular with history buffs interested in the past quarrying, and fascinate children who love to climb on and between the boulders. 3. Go kayaking and river floating at Current River State Park. The Current River was the first river in America to become a National Riverway. Along the river is a cave you can go through and explore. Located in Southeastern Missouri, and flows down into Arkansas. 4. Visit the most controversial National Park out of the 62...Gateway Arch! 5. Paddle the Missouri River Water Trail. A major River of the Lewis and Clark expedition!

We’re talking about the 340B Program with Karen White, the CEO of Missouri Highlands Healthcare, Dennis Shelby, the CEO of Wilson Medical Center, and Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center.  Karen, Dennis and Austin were 2018-2019 Rural Health Fellows with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), where they focused on rural preparedness, culminating in a Policy Paper presented to and adapted by the NRHA Rural Health Congress.   “In our study, it was determined that 55% of rural hospitals would close if it were not for the 340B Program.”   Dennis Shelby has worked in healthcare for 40 years.  He began his career as a medical social worker and for the last 26 years, has held various hospital CEO positions.  His journey involved stents in top leadership positions in psychiatric, rehabilitation and rural hospitals.  He believes healthcare is a calling and ministry.  He received the 2014 Custom Learning System “Inspiring Administrator” Award and was the 2016 Founders Award recipient for that same organization for over 30 years of committed leadership in the healthcare field.  He is the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Becker’s “50 Rural Hospital CEO’s To Know.”  In 2018 he received the Distinguished Alumni Award for his leadership in healthcare from Hope International University.  He and his wife of 44 years, Judy, have two amazing daughters and 4 grandchildren.  “We have to be strong proponents for each other. We cannot be silos.”  Karen R. White joined Missouri Highlands Health Care, a Federally Qualified Health Center, in March 2009 as the Chief Financial Officer.  Through her drive, integrity and work ethic, she provided financial leadership, growing the organization into a sustainable & viable health care provider while overcoming significant financial challenges. In October 2014, she furthered her passion for community health by stepping into the CEO position for Missouri Highlands.  Since that time, she has led the organization through transformation & growth, embracing the challenges of providing primary care in seven rural counties in the southern Missouri Ozarks region. Ms. White has continually sought unique care delivery options to better serve the rural population and while focusing on breaking down existing silos in providing care across the continuum of care community.    White, a certified public accountant (CPA), obtained her Bachelors of Applied Science in Administration with concentration in Marketing and Management from Southwest Baptist University in 1994 and her Masters in Accountancy from Missouri State University in 2007. During and after college she worked in healthcare, banking, retail, management and Social Services prior to obtaining her CPA license and working in public accounting.   Away from work she enjoys time with her 6-year-old daughter, Maive, floating the crystal clear waters of the Current River and roaming the hills of the Ozarks on her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. White’s parents are credited with instilling in her a strong work ethic, drive to succeed and commitment to serving others. “Growing up, my parents served as strong role models of integrity and faith. They never compromised their message of service, hard work and education as the path to success. This coupled with my desire to not have to feed 250 head of cattle for the rest of my life drove me to succeed.”  “340B is vital for our rural to stay viable…”   Austin Gillard was raised in Overland Park, Kansas. He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas and received a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration from the University of Missouri.  Austin’s background in healthcare started in 2008 as a physician recruiter. In 2011, Austin moved into a management role and was responsible for six hospital emergency departments in Kansas and Missouri. In early 2013, Austin developed a ‘rural track administrative fellowship’ and moved to Pratt, Kansas, to work under the CEO of Pratt Regional Medical Center as an Administrative Fellow. In late 2013, Austin was given to opportunity to become the CEO of Genoa Medical Facilities (GMF), located in Genoa, Nebraska. In 2015, Austin became the CEO of Clay County Medical Center (CCMC), located in Clay Center, Kansas.
