Campsite Under an Overhang – This charming spot has ready access to the creek, and I could have easily hung my hammock between a couple of the trees. I was keen to see where the trail led, so I spent a few minutes scouting around and took a couple of pictures before carrying on. One-minute read, 3 pictures
Day Two – and another six-mile hike. From the Bluffs to The Falls, and onward. Two-minute read, 5 pictures
Prickly Pear – I found a whole bunch of these. The new shoots almost match the color of my rain poncho! 2 pictures

Twin Falls. I discovered these twin 20′ falls on an intermittent creek at Hercules Glades Wilderness. 3 pictures
Small Falls on ‘Cab Creek’ – These falls might be small, but they were making a lot of noise.
McGarr Ridge Trail – This sums up hiking in the Ozarks at the moment. Bare trees and fallen leaves.
