APRIL SHOWERS

April showers bring waterfalls. I had plans this particular weekend to do some much overdue yard work. Well, mother nature had other ideas. With the cloudy and rainy weather I had to modify my plans. I sure was disappointed...not. I contacted my friend Steve and we met Saturday morning at 7:30 and hit the road. We traveled through several Arkansas counties, visited 4 waterfalls, drove in pea soup thick fog, hiked in a thunderstorm, had lunch at the "Point of View" restaurant in Jasper (only because the Ozark Cafe was standing room only), and drove over 300 miles. Our day ended at 8:20 p.m. We were both exhausted but it was worth every minute. I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as I did taking them.

High Bank Twins at low water. This obviously is only one of the two. It is located off of Hwy 215 in Franklin County. It is 71' tall.

This is a cascade that we crossed on the way to the Twins. It has no name that I am aware of. Since I was with my wife when I first came here, I call it Melissa falls.

The top of the Glory Hole waterfall in Newton county. The water has drilled a hole in the overhanging bluff creating a very unique waterfall underneath.

The Glory Hole waterfall. This is where the water in the above picture comes out. People often mistake this as light coming from the hole. This fall is 31' tall.

Falling Water Falls in Pope county. This waterfall is 10' tall.

Another view of Falling Water falls. This area is also a popular swimming hole. Notice the ladder on the tree in the background.

Six Finger falls in Pope county. This waterfall is located about six miles past Falling Water on the same road. This waterfall is 6' tall.

Water dripping from moss down stream from Six Finger falls.

I have always liked this type of photograph. It is rushing water downstream from Six Finger falls. This just looks like art to me.
