Round Top Mountain, Buffalo River (October, 2001)

In 1948 a B-25 Bomber crashed into this mountain side killing all 5 military passengers.

A memorial, pictured, now marks the spot and there was a small collection of old pieces of the wreckage.  I went traipsing around in the woods for a bit looking for some other parts and had no luck.

Back at the trailhead, there is also a large chunk of one of the engines from the crash site.
