Kyle Veit heads out to Boxley Valley this week to interview the Founder of the Buffalo Outdoor Center (BOC) Mike Mills. Mike has spent all of his life in the Ozarks and knows how special it is to have something like the Buffalo River right in our backyard. They discuss the history of Ponca, watching the first trailer load of Elk released at Erbie, Mike's prediction that the National Park Service will likely begin requiring permits to float the Buffalo River, the 88 rivers Mike has paddled in his life and his all-time favorite float in the world.

The Ozark podcast sits down with men and women from the Ozarks who have a passion for the outdoors. Our aim is to listen, learn, and pass along their knowledge and experiences to help you become a better outdoorsman.
