A few months ago I learned that there was a “horseshoe bend” in the Buffalo and I’ve been planning to go shoot it sometime. Today was the day. Ms. GPS took me right there though it was a series of increasingly sketchy roads toward the end. At the end there is a definitely non-official trail, more of a beaten path, to the edge of an overlook. I took two pictures, one with and one without a photogenic tree. I can’t decide which I like better so I include both. It’s a two hour drive but I want to return under different conditions. On the way home, I stopped at the Tyler Bend Campground and shot the cliffs over the river.

This morning I went to Haw Creek Recreation Area near Hagarville in the Ozark National Forest. There I visited two waterfalls. First off, I hiked mostly uphill and sometimes off-trail due to tree falls to Pam’s Grotto and her waterfall. This was a cool place though my artificial knee was very concerned about the trail. Then I stopped by the actual recreation area to shoot the Haw Creek Falls. There is a third falls, the Pack Rat Falls, nearby but I didn’t have time for a trifecta today.
