    We have camped that spot many, many times! It is our favorite little oasis. Thank you for cleaning it up! I never knew how that land was forested and used as a dump years ago. Last time we went, the ticks were SO BAD! Literally crawling on us and all of our gear constantly. Maybe someday someone can get that old box spring off that trail from the campsite headed down to deeper water. I did see a non-venomous snake there a few years ago. We have seen many many deer and turkeys and even 2 black bear cubs crossing the road near the turn for the boat ramp. And always keep an eye out for poison ivy, too. We have also camped at the other bigger spot just past the bridge on the left a few times. We walk that trail to the falls and put our lounge chairs in the water near those shoals and stay ALL DAY! It really is "Heaven on Earth." Sometimes, we take the dirt bikes, four wheelers, and side by sides and ride to Crystal Vista, Forked Mountain Vista, Forked Mountain Falls, the old cemetery and hike the flatside Pinnacle for a sunset. Whenever I feel like I need to be recharged, that is where we go because it is so close to where we live in western Saline County. The only thing better is island camping at Lake Ouachita or floating the Buffalo. I hope y'all get to see Jonathan while you are home! We miss him! You guys are living the DREAM!

    What a nice day! Thanks for sharing that beautiful creek and little falls with us. So gorgeous. I'm always fascinated with the thin layers of rock. We have some areas with a little of that, but not much in the west. Yay! Seeing a grey fox is exciting. I have one in my neighborhood and the neighbors have seen him, but I lived here 2 years before I saw him a couple weeks ago! He's been leaving his evidence in my large yard and I would see his tracks in the snow, but it was so exciting to finally see him!

This is a great spot for crawling with our little trucks. I take it with me every time I go out hiking and trail walking.
