Smith Creek

The next stop was to the Smith Creek Scenic Area, which is located on the south end of Boxley Valley. The Nature Conservancy has protected the creek (which flows into the Buffalo River) and the surrounding area. The small creek will sometimes disappear on its path, running through an underground cave system. When it's above ground, the creek travels past and over huge boulders and several waterfalls.

The light was tricky out there. The sun was out, so most of my time was spent standing by the camera waiting for a cloud to pass overhead.

After that, we headed back to the car and went to get a late lunch at the Ozark Cafe...
