Arriving at Dismal Hollow Trailhead
Heading down into Dismal Hollow
Made it to the creek...not an easy trek!
Still ice in the valley
More ice hanging
Chris has gotten himself in a pickle?
Maybe he can squeeze through there?
Nice waterfall but no water today
Next we would head to the top of the bluffs
On top, now what?
Our view of the other side bluffs
US on TOP
Survey Monument in the middle of nowhere
Bear....Sign
Honey Tree or trapped coon?
Another view across the way
Time for our first lunch break
Takagnome was getting hungry
Mother, daughter, so sweet.
Like the shirts.
First time I have seen Bill "laugh" all day.
Flint has spotted something?
Arriving at the bottom of the Bear Crack
Rodger heads up first
Yukowaits her turn
Before long, everyone arrives on top
It was a tight squeeze!
On top of the Bear Crack
US on Top of the BEAR CRACK
Time to head out
Didn't see any wild hogs today, but did find
this rock wall???? In the middle of nowhere!
Exploring the bottom of the bluffs
Found several waterfalls along the way
Who are those folks way down there?
Quite a wicked tree?
Found part of a dutch oven?
There were so many grottos we lost count
Time to rest a bit and re-coop some
of our entergy!
One big mighty rock
The mighty rock
Our first rock shelter....
pretty nice inside....
It has two entrances
...and another shelter just down the bluff line
Bill explaining the rock formations
We might have gas out here?
This is one of the largest grotto/shelters
I believe I have ever seen.
It was hugh!
Brittany was quite a trooper today.
(Amazing little girl)
Black mineral deposits on the side of
this bluff.
Cindy jumping on Chris's back?
Time to take another break before
we head up our last hill.....
Angela, put your tongue back in your mouth!
Too tired to take any pictures on our way up
the steep hill until we got to the road.
Come on Brittany and Angela, you can make it?
Ah, a road! No more briars and downed trees,
just flat and smooth all the way to our vehicles.
It was a good day, amazing place.
Dismal Hollow, hope to see you again. But
not anytime soon!!!!!
