That fall looked painful TT. Hope there's no lasting ill-effects. Peaceful episode at the waterfall. Thanks for the share.
One bruised elbow. To the annoying stage not the painful stage.
I've never been trained in falling, but I pop up relatively unharmed. I wonder if I learned to handle my body in all those years of gymnastics and trampoline as a kid.

At least you didn't appear to bang your head. That might have been more serious. A bruised elbow is a much lighter scenario. Get well soon. The gymnastics training maybe subconsciously helped

OMG you scare the living day lights out of me, hope all is good with you.

I hope you are well. When I saw your intentions to cross there barefoot ... the important thing, you have controlled the fall well.
Magnificent images of a quiet Evening. Many thanks Tentoes for sharing with us!
I'm usually more successful at that. But sometimes!
I had already crossed once and was returning to get the camera. Notice my drone bag on the rock behind me.
I HATE being in wet clothes. On original 4k footage, you can see water dripping from my pants legs in the take off shot.
Yes, on sunny warm days, the place can be full of kids. There are two nice swimming holes. I call the place, "Falling Teens" because teens love to jump from the rocks into the water.

I had just videoed myself crossing that fine. set the drone bag down and was going back for the camera. As I was editing, I though, "What he heck! Put in the fall."
This is "Bluestem Falls" just off of "Bluestem Lake" near Pawhuska Oklahoma. I have a few videos I've shot there:
At the lake itself:
The falls:
Other spots nearby you might want to list:
Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve Just a few miles from Bluestem Lake
Osage Hills State Park Just a few miles from the tallgrass and Bluestem
Wooloroc ranch
Nature Falls State Park, 2 or 3 hours away
Nice places nearby for water play and fishing:
Lake Copan
Birch Lake
Place to take the kids swimming:
The Blue Whale
The nearby city Tulsa, is about 40 miles from here and has LOTS of interesting places to visit. You might hit Turkey Mountain, a nice place for hiking.

You're very welcome. Just happy you didn't get hurt. Glad you didn't edit the fall out, it makes the video more real life. I've taken a few falls on rocks while out fishing in creeks and streams so I know what its like.

I've never had training in falling, but I tend to pop up uninjured. I think I learned to handle my body in all those years of the gymnastics and trampoline program.

Okay, that would make sense how your muscle memory kicked in and you just popped up.
