Return to Blue Springs
Jul 4, 2023 07:54:31 #
Awhile back I posted a series on Blue Springs, the spring was muddy rather than blue.
Yesterday morning I rolled out of bed with out a thought of what to do, about 5:30 am the light bulb lit and I thought go to Grasshopper Hollow Natural Area, so I patted Murphy on the head and left him uncharge of the house and headed south, I missed my turn for my destination and continued on to Blue Springs, nice blue skies, puffy white clouds, Im glad I missed the turn!! not as many images as the first trip But these tell you how the spring got its name.
I left the spring and backtracked tp Grasshopper Hollow , I should have just headed home , the "road" into the hollow wasn't very good in fact had there been a place to turn around I would have let say I really should have 😖
The Grand Caravan wasn't built for this, I drove about 50% at not above 3rd gear out of sixth for nothing!!
The turn around at the bottom was sand and gravel , but I made it in and out without bottoming out or getting stuck.

Nice shots, Frank, and that last one is my idea of why not to go camping.

Thank you John
I agree that's not camping !!
When I had a boat everything I needed to camp was in the boat, came home from work loaded the coolers in the boat and headed for the river, when I got to the sand bar set up the tent and was ready for the weekend.
