Special Missouri Ozark Location

Go to your right about three steps. Right there. He's riding the sunshine there. That's amazing. There's a beam of sunshine. Looks like a pretty good scene. We're going to ride once we get to the creek, right, and the mountains, right? Yeah. Okay. Sweet. You don't want to go right. Okay. I mean, he kind of pictured to the right. You don't want to go right. You're going uphill. Looks like it goes around because of these trees. Bounce picked some cool flowers the other day. That was something. Bounce. Yeah, this is pretty much Bounce's backyard, man. Hey, here's another road here now, Ron. A distinct road. Okay. Let me just look over this edge right quick. I'm not going anywhere but right here. Yeah, there's some. Oh, ----. Here. Lookie here. Lookie here, Ron. Oh, you see it? Wow. Ron just went off a hunch saying, hey, guys, this would be a good spot for a picture. Wow. Yeah. It sure is. Yeah, it looks like it does. Yeah, it's a little still. Ron, there's a passage right over here. I don't think it is easy yet. Be careful. It's slick if you come over. One second. Damn, the beavers did. Oh, ----. I'm going to dam this cave off now. This is a complete-ass wet cave. Oh, hang on. Hey! That's a decent echo. This one is being dammed up right now. There's no telling how deep the water goes. Ooh, ooh. All right, here. Oh, wow, brother. Oh, is this coming from the top? Yeah, it's coming right there. Oh. There's two drips I see. Watch your steps, but yes. Trying to flow out that way, too, a little bit, Ron. It's dripping to your left a little. Yep. Wow, beautiful. Oh, this is like pouring edges here. Oh, it's coming up. Look above. Boy, it's coming from way up above. Where the plants are. Uh-huh. Coming from underneath. Wow. Cave opening. If you couldn't get up from here. Now there's cave openings behind that creek, too. Yeah. Oh, both of them are. Look at this entry. You see it? Oh, yeah, I see it. That's a walk-through. Yeah. We're seeing that from here. Boy, you never get up there. You have to come in from the top. I'm going to do that. You get up there, you may get lost. Yeah, I get you. Wow, but look at this, guys. Yeah, I saw a good picture of that cave entrance there. Oh, okay. Here's a cave entry right here, guys. You see, the water is dripping right a little bit. It's not dripping now, but it has to be right where it stained the rock. Yeah. Right there. But, you know, nobody's going to hide a treasure there because you can't get into it. I mean, good gosh. You just have to find someplace easier. So we're at the bottom, man. That's up at the top. Man, Ron, that cave is huge. About 8 foot, 10 foot. There's a big bluff here, Ron. That rock. Oh, another seep spring. It's like a roadway, isn't it? Look, we can get right up there. Look, we can go to this edge right here and come back here. Oh, it's another cave up there. I guess we could try. I think our better entry point's right. Let's try this way. Let's go this way. Yeah, here's a spot right here, and look, we can hold on to this branch. Okay, it's like a step. There's your hold on branch. And just don't let go and step to it. Okay, Ron? And then there's a tree right here to grab. Look at this twisted oak. Or no, that's a sycamore, but it's twisted. She's twisted. Yes, sir. There goes the turtle. Oh, yeah. Heck, yeah, we made it, guys. Oh, man, something just big just left right there. Look at the wake it just made. Wow, something big lives in this place. Yeah, it's deep. Look at that rock right there. Oh, I got a beach frog. Ron found some beach frogs. This is one of the most secluded spots in the Ozarks, one of the most beautiful ones. It's called the Blue Hole. Now, I'm not going to tell you how to get here. This is a secret. This is a secret spot. Only the elite, the elite of the elite that love the Ozarks come here. This was on my bucket list, something I always wanted to do since I've been down here in the Ozarks, and I fulfilled it. So if I was to die today, I would be a happy person having seen this. If I had to have a wish, if I go into the afterlife, I would like to be in a place like this. We got a sand beach here we're sitting on, eating a bite of lunch, and taking in some of the most beautiful scenery that you can ever imagine. And we were accompanied by a river otter, no less. You're very welcome to Sydney. Dude, there's an otter, river otter. He's right here on my screen. Welcome to my home, boys. That's why there's no fish. I asked if there should be some fish, but that river otter has cleaned them out. Now this place is known by very few hardcore Ozark hikers and locals, and it's hard to get here. It's hard to get here. There is no good way. Unless you were dropped in by a helicopter. To stay off the bluffs, right? No, it's not thunder. That's an airplane, I think, or an explosion. You would not want to be down here after a severe thunderstorm. You'd be swept away, down into the Eleven Point River. I will say, this is in the Mark Twain National Forest. We're not on private property. In this area? Not that I know of. I don't know how you know. Man, these bluffs are kind of like the Grand Bluffs, huh? They're big, but they're calm, guys. You can see it, kid. Man, you barely can see those guys. Let me see what you got there, Ron. Let me see. You know that. What can you do to that? No, brother. I was getting you here at the Blue Hole. Drinking your blue water. My blue water. Take a picture of that. With your blue hat, too, and your blue jeans. I see you already, dude. See how it matches with the blue. It does, pretty close. That's awesome. Of course, I got a little more. It's a little bit of a concoction. No liquor, but it's a little bit of a concoction. It would probably match the blue otherwise. Oh, how incredible to see, Ron, like you said. And you see, guys, there's a couple of big rock in the water underneath. There's one. There's a big rock down below. Get a picture of that. Good reflection, too. That's a beautiful spot, man. It wasn't easy getting here, was it, Ron? No. But it was worth it. Now that I know it's here, anybody that's got the stamina and guts to do it, I would advise. Come on with it, right? It's on public property, so it's not like it's on private property. It belongs to everybody. Wow. You all hear that, guys? This is a national forest out here. Anybody's welcome. It's just a hard hike in. You've got to have a good, good entry point in there. It's almost impossible without that. Well, you could come in from another direction, but it would be a little more difficult. It's twice the hike. There's Theresa down here, too. I've seen her before. There's some swallows coming up out of that cave right there. Hey, piggy baby, you want to be on the video? You all swallowing around? That ain't no bad. Look at these bluffs, man. I think there's a cave right up there. Behind that tree? No. Right? Straight up through there. I see it. I think that's a cave in front of me. There's another entry point possibly right back there. Yeah. There is right there. Where'd he go? I guarantee you we're at his home over there on the edge. At one time, before all the pine trees had cut off and it eroded all the gravel and stuff down there, I bet you could have dove into this thing. It was probably eight to ten feet deep or deeper. But you couldn't do it now. I bet you could see a pretty bird over here getting a drink of water. Not with that river otter. It's spring. It's a blue hole, right? Blue hole. We made it, guys. Yeah. Look. Look across. See where water is coming down? Those streaks? That's where water is coming down. The white portions? Yeah. That's where the water is. When you get a big rain. But yeah, from right here you can see the opening of that cave. Yeah, it's pretty clear. I think I'm out, brothers. Go ahead. I'm out of that cave. Oh, I've seen well. This is easy one I'm trying to get off, isn't it? I think I'm tick free for a moment, brother. I don't see any. I had some small ones. I'm glad I wore these white pants. They tick stick out on those easy. Easy. Hey, Ron. There's some humming water right over there. You can see it coming off that edge over there. It's really vibrating over there. It could be. Subsurface. Yeah. Yeah, even over possibly all that edge over there even, guys. Wow. Man, this thing comes up so clear. In the picture, Ron? I don't know for a fact. But I heard someone tell me one time that manganese makes the water blue like this. But I don't. I wouldn't. You know, I'm not a geologist. So I don't know. Let us know. I tell you, it's blue. There's so many. So many bluffs. I mean, just a bunch of bluffs. But if you look in front of us, guys. These bluffs are from ground to bottom. Watch. See that? All the way up. But watch. Over here to your right, you've got some ground that's fallen. And then the bluffs start again up top. Man, I'm so happy we made it, Ron.
