I grew up watching MASH....or at least listening to it. I remember my mom and dad always watching it. I've been trying to get out to this hike for a while now. There are a couple of different ways to get out to the MASH filming location and we're not sure if we took the long one or the short one. I've had friends who hiked this in the spring, after we got our 16 inches of rain, and there was lots of water in the creeks and river. Not that day. It was dry as a bone. It was hot too. The kids were troopers though, as always, and it ended up being a pretty cool hike.
That rock bed is supposed to be a river.
We took a break anytime we found shade!
This is how they were feeling at this point.....and we weren't even halfway there yet!
We made it to a little lake, which was a welcome surprise. It was fully shaded, so we took a nice little snack break here.
We even saw huge crawfish on the bank.
We finally made it!
It was actually a little let down. There were only a couple of show memorabilia there, but it was cool to think we were walking around where the show was filmed.
I hope you can zoom in on all of these photos and read about the site.
We took another little snack break here before we headed back.
Just above us was where they landed the helicopter. This is looking down from the LZ.
Finally making our way back down.
We stopped at the (nasty) little pond before getting to the car to cool their feet off.
