Where was this picture taken?

There at at least two different towers (as noted above) - the one is the tourist tower on Hwy. 7 just south of Jasper at the top of the hill (Arkansas Grand Canyon is actually farther south along Hwy. 7, and can be seen from the Cliff House and along the highway from that point south), and the Buffalo Fire Tower in the Upper Buffalo area, which is where the web cam noted above is located. Funny but this web cam is normally "unavailable" during controlled burns...

There are tons of rental cabins in the greater Ponca/Boxley Metroplex (just do a google search), but most of the "hotels" in Jasper are not very good - one secret spot right in downtown Jasper is the three rooms located behind and above the Ozark Cafe, which also happens to be the best place to eat in the area.

Much of the United States was at the bottom of the ocean at one time. The "Ozark Dome" was uplifted 50-70 million years ago out of the sea and this plateau has eroded down ever since - so the valleys are the eroded parts while the flat tops were the ocean floor, although the ocean floor is really hundreds, if not thousands of feet thick in this area (made of sandstone and limestone), all of it laid down at the bottom of the ocean at one time. Pretty standard geology stuff.

Some of us here probably swam in that ocean.

Here lately I sure feel like I have been that old!

This is Jasper from the top of Round Top Mountain.. Very good. Let me dig deeper..

OK,

My turn! Were was this picture taken?

at a waterfall?!?!? Ozarks not your territory. Real close to the Piney? Haw Creek

Ha!

Yes OZARKS!

Will say near the OHT

Guess I could string you on longer but one of the options that you mentioned was correct.

Haw Creek Falls at Haw Creek Campground, the OHT goes right by it...

it's only a bit west of the Big Piney creek at Ft Douglas. Popular river running section downstream of there from Treat to Longpool.

I started to not put the name

more! more! I can't find one I wanted to post.

ok, its my turn, figure this one out.

Warm or cold? Buffalo River

Cold

Devils Den Trail.

ding ding ding ding, good job. I thought about adding the pic with Devil Falls but thought this one may be a little harder. Good Job OE

Ok here is another one, hint it isn't in the Ozarks...

Crooked Creek?

Back when I took that pic I wasn't quite sure were it was. Now looking at a FS map
it is right of the FS road between Little Mo falls and Hwy 8. Yes I do believe it is on
Crooked Creek. The water was really roaring that day!

This pic of the Little Mo falls was taken the same day:

Yes, that is Crooked Creek Falls, page 202 in the waterfall guidebook. Must have been some rain!

OK, this one should be harder, but you guys are pretty good!

Village Creek State Park? Looks like of like the old Military Trail over there...

The only place I have ever seen like that was a section of the Natches(sp?) Trace.

No clue where that is. I got an old road section in my backyard that looks like it.... minus the tree. Well... actually it is still full of tornadoed trees at present.

Cloudancer you nailed it. This is the Old Military Trail at Village Creek State Park. I hike I did there this last October. Great job!

Cloudancer beat me to it, but it's unmistakenable.

Looks like this fizzled. Just wanted to say thanks for all the pics. This was big fun. I don't really have any pics out there to post. So no contributes by me. But I liked playing. Thanks again all

happy trails
