We invaded this couples camp....... |

Arriving at Owens Mt. Trailhead |

Following the bluffline..... |

Entrance to the top of the Bear Crack |

For a shorter hike, you can exit down
this
Bear Crack and follow the bluffline
back to the top....or go like we did! |

Checking out the top of the Bear Crack |

|

A perfect weather day to be
in the Arkansas Ozarks
|

|

|

Steve
|

That's a deep Bear Crack |

Talking to Mark about a possible
geocache? |

Not a whole lot of color....... |

This is how Gloria gets down the
mountain...!
(Sit down and scoot) |

Not an easy descent, but we did it. |

Down and now over to Owens Rock |

A great climbing area at Owens Rock |

|

Don't do it ..... ! |

An amazing little corner..... |

A little dog petting time.....for
Rugger |

They are back from a big trip out
west, and
still came hiking today with us.... |

|

We are about to lose Brittany and
Lydia in
this crack...they went everywhere today. |
 |

....and yet another crack in the bluff |

Gloria couldn't find a flower, so she
did
the best she could......! |
 |

|

Bottom bluffline at Owens Mountain |

A little rocky in places |

Brittany |

Oh, we did get to see some color
today! |

Looking for pictographs |

My spot, so get up..... |

|

This is the way up and out.... |

Our final climb out at Owens Mt. |

Back at the road....Kathy is hoping
for a mailman
ride back to our cars? |
 |

Made it back, now on over to Ricketts
Mt. |
|

Arriving at Ricketts Mt. and
lunch..... |

Up the tunnel to the top..... |

Almost up...... |

Back down the tunnel and around the
mountain. |

|

Lydia |

Brittany |

We had a couple of planes out
looking for us today.... |

|

|

|

This was the Bear Crack up and out
from
the bottom of Ricketts Mt. |

Not an easy climb up....... |

If Orvalene can do it....anyone can do
it! |

Yuko did it..... |

Lisa did it.... |

Pam did it.... |

We all did it....we had no choice! |

That look could "kill"! |

Orvalene, Jim and Adrienne |

Up, out and close to the road...... |
Yep, the road was a mighty fine sight
to see.... |
 |

Friends who like to hike..... |

Another great day in the Arkansas
Ozarks. |
