Class B First-hand BFRO #50534

Memory told of rocks thrown as two friends attempt to climb steep hill at Lake of the Ozarks

July 1973 early afternoon Sunrise Beach, Camden County, Missouri 2 witnesses

Account

In summer 1973 the witness and a companion boated to a steep forested hillside intending to climb it. Shortly after landing and starting to climb, rocks began falling from above through the trees, increasing from small to football-sized, forcing them to retreat to the boat. Rocks continued to fall in the water around them with one or two landing in the boat, and they saw no one throwing them.
