Description
Underdeveloped approach & area. So much potential for developing. Bring a walking stick, especially if there's leaves on the ground for it'll be hard to see where you step. Not for those who do not like bushwhacking or have creaky ankles.
Getting There
Park at 36°00'19.6"N 94°25'24.2"W aka like you're going to Dam Boulders.
The {#} is in correspondence to the pictures.
{1} Hop the fence and follow the trail. Once you cross the dam, you'll see a sign {2} that says Lake loop or Spillway loop; take the Spillway & Piney Loops.
Follow the trail and you'll reach a point where you down hike {3} to lower area.
[To Gold Tooth Bum(?)] {4} Immediately on your left, if you walk about 25 feet, you'll see see a boulder with an orange pipe(?) line running down the cliffline. If you go down that way, it appears that's where Gold Tooth Bum {5} might be. There didn't seem like a safe way to get down that way but didn't spend much time looking. If someone can find a passage, feel free to edit.
[To the rest of the boulders] Passing Gold Tooth Bum area, you'll see an overcast {6} on your left. Keep walking and you'll see an "intersection" before you enter the forestry area. Enter the forestry area and keep walking until you see an undeveloped trail {7} on your left. You know this is the trail because you'll see boulders within sight. You will need to watch your step as you go down because you're stepping on loose rocks. [To Skittles, Special K, Black Magic, Full Clip and Monkey Wrench] Halfway down the trail, {8} look to your left and that's where these boulders are. [To the other boulders] There will be a boulder that splits the trail. Go right between two massive rocks as if you're going down a hallway. On your right, you'll see Child's Play & Squeeze Job. Keep going past a rock wall on your right. Once you past that, you'll go downhill and have to start bushwhacking. {9} This is where you'll see from left to right Anti-Social Boulder, Hendrix Boulder, and Snoopy's Dog House Boulder.
{10} Beware of goats. There’s a goat cave so you’ll see some goats cruising around. If you google what to do when you see one, it’ll tell you to back away slowly.
