Dirt biking at Finger Lakes ATV Area Columbia MO 2017 10 01 1
Great day for a ride until I crashed and got stuck... in separate incidents. I'm a triple threat to myself on a dirt bike. Finger Lakes is so dry I got to do a bunch of exploring in trails that I had never ridden before. I'm glad I went out, but it was a bummer to ride solo. Always better to have a strong person to help you out of a bind.
Finger Lakes ATV & Motocross Park, Columbia, Missouri
This is a great place to ride for the $5 per rider. It has a motocross track, wide-open trails maintained by a bulldozer for new riders, a peewee track for the little bikes, and plenty of trails off the main open trail to test your skills hill climbing. When it is wet, there is plenty of mud and even when it is dry, there are still places to find that one can get muddy. It is great riding for all skill levels and you can ride for hours if you keep taking new paths and not double up. Then when you are done with the trails, hit the motocross track, which is being renovated and it is already in good shape. They are making many of the double jumps into tabletop jumps, for safety for all skill levels. The new track is set up better and safer. There are muddy spots, dry spots, serious hill climbs, medium hill climbs, and small climbs for the kids. Take it slow around the trees in the woods when headed off the main trail, some of the trails down and up are steep.
From the site:
In the open riding area of the park, a designated dirt trail is identified that leads motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles from the campground to the motocross track, the staging area and south to the park office. The trail takes riders through wooded landscape that has been reclaimed from Peabody Coal, which strip-mined coal from the area during the 1960s. Rider will pass by a number of lakes and steep mounds measuring 20 to 30 feet both deep and high.
This trail is marked with information signs leading riders to destination points in the park and is designed for all skill level riders. There are steep grades and mud along the trail as well as slippery surfaces and some downed vegetation.
This 5.25 miles of trail is the only designated and maintained trail in the off-road riding area. However, riders may have developed other paths and routes in the area. All riders are advised to use precaution at all times. Efforts have been made to make Finger Lakes State Park a safe riding area, however natural forces may create unknown hazards. Riders ride at their own risk.
You may experience:
Natural surface, dirt, mud, gravel, shifting rocks, slippery surface, etc.
Rocks, roots and/or downed vegetation on trail
Physically challenging obstacles
Steep grades and inclines more than 10 percent
Bluffs or drop-offs next to trail
Water/stream crossings without bridges
Occasional water over trail
Road/highway crossing

Cox Hollow Waterfall-Governor Dodge State Park time lapse
I arrived at Governor Dodge State Park early in the morning as the sun was shining through the fresh ice and snow covered underbrush. It looked like diamonds were growing out of the vegetation. I had planned on capturing Stephens Falls also located in the same park, but I had a misstep on a small patch of ice at the 2 1/2 hour mark and cracked the back of my head against a rock wall, some blood and a minor concussion. Of course I had to finish up with my sets, so I captured 5 set more to complete the shoot. I now had a five hour drive home...... Be careful out there!

Rocky Falls Missouri conservation area---very large swimming hole
This is a great place to swim. The water depth is from 1 inch to way over my head. This swimming hole benefits from the heated rocks which warm the water running into the swimming area. You need two things to have fun here: a hot day and a summer that has had normal rainfall. Rocky Falls is located near Eminence, MO

In the middle of the Rock Bridge Memorial State Park just south of Columbia, Missouri, the Devil’s Icebox is a above and below-ground landscape connected by delicate wooden bridges and pathways. Why “devil’s icebox”? It stays a cool 56 degrees all year long. Students used to travel from Columbia to visit the cave to hang out around its cool temperatures.
