Sunday 2/19, made a 3.6 mile hike to Bee Bluff above Steel Creek on the Buffalo River. A few floaters and a few fishermen were out in today’s sunshine. Temperature was about 60F degrees with a light north breeze. The Buffalo is in perfect shape for fishing, especially for smallmouth bass; which are plentiful today. The following pictures are from the 3.6 mile hike from the Buffalo to the top to Bee Bluff. Bee Bluff is located below Ponca and above Steel Creek. It is well known locally for the 2 boys in the 1920’s that dynamited out a huge bee hive in a cave high on the bluff; honey running down the face of the bluff like onyx in a cave:
