I was looking through my old photos and found this, which I never got around to processing. Since it was December the color was rather drab so I thought it would lend itself well to a B&W conversion.

Burden Falls.. near Bell Smith Springs, if you're familiar with that. The nearest 'town' is Ozark.

Cool shots. Isn't it aggravating that the water never flows like that when things are nice and green? If the falls ran like that in, say, late spring, that would make for some amazing pictures.

Growing up, we would always camp at Lake Glendale several times a year. I have many fond childhood memories of that place.

I love lake glendale......it is so nice.........at bell smith we seemed to get covered with ticks and everything else............plus lake glendale is class a camping with that new showerhouse.......it's almost a must with three kids now...
Lake Glendale is really nice camping.......they also have the little lake there and you can hike around it. It is really pretty. We stayed down there last spring during easter and there wasn't hardly anyone there......They do have a new showerhouse finally that is really nice and they have a beach there with concessions. I think it is 14 a night for Ele, not sure on tent camping. It is one of the only Class A camping in Shawnee Forrest...I think the name was Oak Point. They have boats you can rent there and paddle boats for rent. The lake is clear. You can go out on the paddleboat and see all the way down or swim over at the beach and see the sand. They also have a playground for the kids. And we seen lots of deer at night..........It is very scenic. The pine trees in there are so huge and it looks real woody......Dixon Springs State Park is close and we also drove over to Cave-in-Rock which is neat if you never been. The chocolate factory had the best ice cream! They even have little chocolate shaped deer and fish...They do have a couple little resturants down town that we didnt try and they have a grocery store like a Big johns or something....I think you can even ride on the ferry to get to the other side of the river if I remember correctly but there was already cars waiting so we just drove......
