Earlier this week Big Bore and I made a quick return to Petit Jean State Park, Arkansas, to hike Seven Hollows Trail, since we didn't have time for it the last time we were there.
We walked up and down, in and out, and all around rocks and trees and caves for five-and-a-half miles before our aching muscles heaved up the white flag and proclaimed the mission accomplished."High five! We made it!"
Here are a few more pictures from the trail:
This is called Natural Bridge. It is not to walk over, just under--which is just as well and much safer.
This next picture shows a tree from atop a bluff that has fallen onto two other trees, supported for who knows how much longer. I'm the blip at the bottom.
Here's part of what's called The Grotto--a cave and pool at the halfway point of Seven Hollows Trail. This would have been a great spot for a picnic lunch, had we packed one. The Flaming Bore and Co. travel lightly. Water only.
We have already scoped out our next adventure to Arkansas--Magazine Mountain. To be continued.....

That looks like a lot of fun. Glad you guys made it and safely too!! Loved the pictures of the great adventures!
when i heard about Kerry Meier's brother dying while climbing at a park in Arkansas----i thought of you guys. so glad you are back safe; what a sad thing for his family.
Yes, so sad about the Meier's accident. We passed through the same area Monday afternoon, en route to Petit Jean, and encountered sirens--sheriff car and rescue squad truck--so now I know what was going on. Marilyn knows the mom well, and Dylan was a substitute teacher at PHS, so Brandon and Bo knew him and are very upset, of course. I'm glad Jeff makes me behave myself and stay away from the ledges.
