Hey, I don't live in the Ozarks but I do live in Arkansas. It is a wonderful State to live in. Keep saving your pennys and you will get the machine you want. I have two that cost over $3000.00 and one that cost @7000.00, but now I'm retired and could not ever afford it again. It keeps me busy. Have a great time and maybe one day you can live in the Ozarks, it is beautiful!!!
