That looks like Falling Waters waterfall, but I want to call BS because surely those falls were running harder than that this past weekend with all the rain.
We rode through some real deep crossings over in the White Rock Mtn area the last 3 days.

Those bikes weren't that dirty! We washed them off in the creek behind the cabin before loading them! Had a GREAT ride!
We spotted Larry O and his dirty KLR at a gas station along I49.

We were expecting more water too............... don't know what to tell you? Got no reason to BS you!
Really enjoyed the ride and I will do it again! Phil is too kind, he is the one with mad skills I didn’t see him put a foot down once. He even jumped a log, which at first appeared to be a shadow across the road, at 40ish mph. He also didn’t mention having to help me pick up the F800 after a small get off, damn that thing is heavy especially on a side of a grassy knoll.
Larry great routes and I still can’t believe we had that tire changed in less than 15 minutes. It was a true pit crew effort and Phil had all the tools we needed to make it happen.
Bob it was a pleasure to meet you and I love your WR 250. That thing handled the off road stuff without a much effort and then cruised at 60 mph like it was nothing.
I had great time with a really good riding group. Bob, Phil, Daryl, and Cliff...good to ride with you, we fit together good for a couple days in the woods.
I think we can title this year "Hell or high water". Close to Eureka Springs everything was fine. Thursday night an area SE of Eureka Springs got a bunch of rain. Many little tributaries that are usually nothing more than a trickle were deep, swift and dangerous. I think I counted 6 work-arounds the first day and 4 the 2nd day. We ended skipping at least 50% of the "good sections" because of water. The water complications added a bunch of miles and caused some longer days than I expected.
It was definitely an adventure ride this year. This did leave me with a big itch to get back down there and try the routes again.
When we got further south east by Falling Waters it was dry and dusty. But when we got over to Piney Creek the water was definitely high. Hurricane Creek was a definite no-go.
