BOWERS HOLLOW FALLS 2/11/12 |
Ah, finally getting to the right road |
At the parking area |
13 degrees and we are ready to go |
No trails in the wilderness, but this is a good trail |
||
At the real Trailhead sign-in (Nobody signs in anymore?) |
Top of Bowers Hollow Falls |

Looking down on Bowers Hollow Falls |
We hike 1/4 mile along the bluff and finally find a way down |
The bluffs down below were ice covered |
It was 13 degrees and John still wears shorts! Go John! At least he has shoes on! |
||
Some of the bluffs on the north side of Bowers Hollow |

Ah, there she is...Bowers Hollow Falls |
||
All six hardy guys |
Looking for a place in the sun to eat lunch |
....and we found it! |
When I turned my head we had folks taking naps everywhere! |

More shots of Bowers Hollow Falls |

The rock cairns where you are suppose to start going down to Bowers Hollow Falls...it is best now to go a little farther down the trail and then go down. The ice storm of 2009 made a mess of the drainage. |
||
Nap time was over and it was time to go |
Chuck giving his victory sign.....that means we made it! |
|
Look who we found on our way out. |
||
This is a lost dog with a vet tag from Lebanon, MO |
||
Anyone know whose dog this is, let us know. |
||
Or call Steve Hern at 479-979-4278. |

Steve Hern contacted the vet in Lebanon and they got in contact with the owners who live in Lebanon, MO and were hog hunting in the Bowers Hollow area on 2/4/12 when Bella ran off after being injured by a hog. Bella was in the woods for a week before we came across her on the trail. Steve and Becky took Bella to a local vet to have her back leg stitched up. Bella is a very sweet dog and is now in retirement. |
