The Spencer family took a little family history vacation this year to Neosho, Missouri. We stayed at the Eagle's Nest campground in Noel and Canoed the Elk River. It was a great adventure!
There were many displaced creatures due to the recent flooding. The river rose 20 feet above normal just a week before the trip. Thankfully it went down enough to camp. The Alligator snapping turtle (above right) was wandering near our camp. He was one tuff dude!
Lydia's Great Grandmother on her Father's side who has been a mystery for years. We finally found her burial plot. Location: Kenny Cemetery, Neosho, Missouri. There are still many questions about her family lineage.

My parents live just outside of Neosho!!! I hope you had a great time!
