Exploring the Southern Missouri Ozarks Part 4: Moss Rock Spring
About 5 minutes outside of my hometown is a popular river access spot called "Buck Hollow" It is a highly trafficked area for swimmers, floaters, and anglers. However, just a few yards south of the Buck Hollow parking lot is a hidden little gem we like to call Moss Rock Spring.
I'm actually not sure if the spring has an official name, and if so, what that name might be. My Dad used to take us hiking as kids, and appropriately titled this beautiful place as Moss Rock Spring. We've referred to it as such ever since :)
Most of my photos are not in focus, whatsoever. But at a certain point, it was so humid and the hike was so steep that I gave up on adjusting my camera settings and resorted to "auto" option. I cared less about image quality and more about documenting the fact that we were there!
However, I think it really shows the intense amount of moss and other growth around the spring! (There's @kayla.denise checking out the scenery!)
I've been going here for years, but it has been a very long time since I've made the effort to go out and hike this beautiful little spot again. Earlier this week, on the 4th of July, my good friend @kayla.denise and I went to visit the spring. You can check out her view of the hike here:

Nice @margaretwise! Glad you were able to see it in person. It really is a beautiful place! Thanks for the resteem and thanks for looking !
Beautiful shots! Looks a lot like the Ozarks of Northern Arkansas ;) I will have to use that steemitozarks tag!
Steemit has actually allowed me to connect with several people from Arkansas and I cannot wait to go explore more there asap!!! My husband @jasonrussell and I took a little trip last year down to a few places along the Buffalo and it was gorgeous! I think the #steemitozarks tag is going to be a big thing on here very soon! Let's share our adventures!
