Piney Creek in the Ozark National Forest

One of the two low water bridges coming out from Joy's home. Lots of rain at the higher elevations resulted in both creeks flooding. On Monday night the forecast was for 10% rain Tuesday AM increasing to 70% later in the day and continuing for several days. The decision was made that if the creek nearest her house was down on Tuesday AM we would come out. The creek was down (only about a foot of water over the bridge) so we came out driving a pretty good gravel road over the top of the mountain since Piney was still too high to cross.
