Hawn Park near St. Genevieve
Highway 55 to 32 (or O to 32), through the town of Weinberg
Reached 60 degrees--twenty degrees higher than normal temps in December in Missouri, but it wasn't disgustingly balmy. Took time hiking ten
miles in approximately five hours, stopping to take photographs, climb on rocks, watch the sunlight reflect off of water on to tree trunks and rock formations.
Although there were a few cars in the parking lot and campers in the campground, I saw only one other hiker, a back packer, during the entire five hour, ten mile hike.
Water run off was outstanding. The sound of waterfalls followed me for five hours--I had to take my hiking boots and socks off to cross one of the creeks. The water was cold, but my feet felt inexplicably great for a couple of miles after I'd put back on my socks and boots.
