Ozark Trail

Janice Jobey, October 2024


Expansive views
Around the mountain
Keep an eye peeled
Mountain boomers!
Beautiful cascading water
Creeks are running!

Step back from the falls
Rocky Creek
Rocky Falls—covered up with people
Ozark Trail –Beautiful woods
Dry streambed
Water Pockets
Ozark trail blazes.

Wander up the roadbed
Off the trail
Over a ridge
Winding along
Climbing higher
Old burned-out wooden bridge.
