SLIDE SCANNING PROJECT

Here is another very old slide taken in 1958. My Dad shot this during a vacation we took that summer. This is in Noel, Missouri. Noel is in the far southwest corner of that state and situated on the Elk River. This town is considered the "canoe capital" of the Ozarks. It's well known as a great place for "float trips" down the Elk River and its tributaries the Big Sugar Creek and Indian Creek. One of the natural features of the area are the overhanging bluffs along U S Highway 71. I especially love the tree on the very edge of the bluff. As a kid In 1958 I thought it looked like a Christmas tree waiting to be decorated. I've found more recent photos of this spot on the internet, and in a few of them the tree appears to still be there. But, of course, it looks much more weathered than it did in 1958. I still remember Dad pulling over to the side of the road to take this shot.
