    MO>Bell Mountain> 9 & 10 Nov

    Hi everyone; Pyro and I have been out of touch for a long time and missed some good hikes; he and I are determined to get out for an over nighter so I asked him where he wants to go and he wants to go to Bell Mountain.

    So, nothing fancy but Pyro and I are doing an over nighter to Bell Mountain. All are welcome to join us. We'll meet at the same trail head we did the last time. I'll post the exact address later. Plan on starting the hike at 11:00 am sharp. Not sure how the weather will be but we plan on going regardless of the weather.

    Sorry for the short notice and this won't be a spectacular one like Disco plans but my son and I simply have to get to the woods

    Also, tomorrow I'm taking two of my girls and our dog on a day hike at Hawn State park. Low mileage, just hike in towards Pickle Creek and cook lunch, etc. I'll hang some hammocks to sit on and take a short siesta. Plan on hitting the trail around 10:30 if anyone wants to come along. If you do, send me an email at [email protected]

    Thanks
    Gideon

    I'd love to hike Bell Mt again with you guys, but I'm in a wedding that weekend.
    I've been really missing the woods lately myself. Hope you guys have a great time!
    With beauty all around you, may you walk.

    We'll miss having you along; enjoy the wedding Disco!
    Pyro really wants to go back there, I think he had a better time there the first time than I thought.

    There really isn't an address for the Hwy A trailhead. here are the directions from Potosi.
    Hwy A Trailhead: from Potosi, take Hwy 8 one mile East to Hwy 21. Go South on Hwy 21 for 11 miles. Or take Hwy 21 South for 17 miles to Hwy 32. Take Hwy 32 West for 8 miles to Hwy A. Take Hwy A approx 5 miles South to site.

    the parking lot GPS coordinates are approx. 37.6277N, 90.9102W
