Location

In the Pea Ridge Conservation Area northwest of Potosi.

Participants

Kbh3rd and his lovely bride. (She'll follow me to the ends of the earth.)

Plans

Plans were made very late. Found ourselves hiking at Little Indian Creek CA earlier in the day and decided to go for this one just in case we hadn't picked up enough chiggers yet. The Conservation Department has an access parking lot on a short, rough gravel road very close to the meetup point.

Expedition

An easy 0.14 mile (0.23 km) walk through the woods to the meetup point. The woods were mostly tall and easy walking (except for the spider webs). More underbrush closer to the parking lot. The site is off of Highway 185 in an area that's pretty much wooded wilderness.

Follow @geohashstl on Twitter for (almost) daily notes on meetup points.

Photos

360-degree panorama at the meetup point
Rock ledge nearby
Tree with a burl nearby
The straight jog southwest to the point was on foot
Proof. (Kept bouncing around)
