December 17-22, 2011 - New Waterfall Finds and more

12-24-2011: Freezing Fog!



12-22-2011: Jenn and I went exploring today with our pups. We hiked along a different stretch of Clear Creek and almost immediately found a bunch of these stone structures. They were all sorts of sizes of these things with this being the best preserved (4-6 feet tall and about 20 feet across). The area is at 35°38'7.05"N 93°43'2.06"W and covers an area of about 15 acres which includes all of the different sizes of stone structures and walls. The back side is up against a cliff face and at one spot there a little waterfall and stream that has some stones set around the base like it was used to possibly hold water. Here are a few pics:



12-20-2011: I hiked into a brand new area in the upper drainages of Washita Creek (35°37'48.37"N 93°34'7.12"W) and found several nice areas and some waterfalls.



12-19-2011: I finished exploring a nice little canyon area (35°37'56.35"N, 93°39'55.40"W) and found one nice and several other smaller falls.



12-17-2011: I hiked out in the dark to Chinquinpin Ridge Bluff and got to see a great sunrise. When the sun first appeared it was very sickly looking and as it rose it showed quite a bit of distortion from the different inversion layers (temperature differences with height). Video is below
