The first trail segment, Uncle Frank's, opened in 2020, and I took, you guessed it, the Bullwinkle section.
With temperatures in the high 50s, it was a perfect day to walk the trail, and I got a leg up on where the moose would be, thanks to coordinates from Joel. . . .
As I got closer to the pinged location, I finally spotted the great metal antlers. With many of the trees bare, it wasn't going to be hard to miss the moose.
Scenes from a hike along Fellows Lake Jan. 24, 2022.Mary Kromrey, of Ozark Greenways, told me later that TrailSprings' Jessica Pearson saw the unique knot on the tree and worked with a donor and local metal worker to fashion the moose's antlers, hence naming that section of trail Bullwinkle.
