Irish Wilderness – I’m running out of wildernesses to visit in Missouri. Irish Wilderness, so named after a group of Irish immigrants who lived in the area. The settlement was destroyed and abandoned during the American Civil War.
Hollow – Just a typical Ozarks hollow. But, not just a typical picture. I decided to take a stereo pair. If you can manage to get your eyes to merge the two pictures, you can see it in glorious 3D. +1
Going up – When Ginger and I hiked this trail in 2011, we had to walk along the road from Brazil Creek Campground to where the eastern loop hits the road. Not this time. Either we missed the trail I used to get here, or it’s a new addition. One-minute read

Thong Tree (Trail Marker Tree)? Ginger’s opinion is that it is not old enough, and I’d have to agree. But, it is on the line of an obvious old trail that crosses the Berryman trail. One-minute read

Back at the Lake – I’ve not been here since July. It’s good to be back.
