Iv been trying to find a place called happy hole out by rockerville. No one has been able to give me directions. Do any of you guys know where it is or have gps coordinates for it?

The Yeti

That would be Hippie Hole, and I could tell you where it is...but then I'd have to kill you.  :evil

Did you even try Google?  ;D

Here's a map, but not very clear exactly where it is:

Apparently quite a few people have died jumping from the highest cliff...I don't think this is the highest jump, but this guy makes it intact:

I haven't been there since I was a teenager, and those brain cells are loooooong gone! :chug

I have a feeling searching for happy hole on google brought up some interesting results...

excess

Yeah I should really turn safe search back on

I like this video way better than the one Yeti posted.  8)  You'll just have to watch it to see why.

Did you find directions? I think you can see the "pool" on google earth at 43°53'36.71"N  103°22'0.65"W. Forest Road #372 should get you close.

Number Two

A guy in my high school class died there.  He jumped in just fine, then they figure the water pushed and held him under a ledge.

Third failed attempt last night I did find some fun trails and accidently followed a game trail to the mouth of a cave :o

You sure it was not a black bear ;D

Dakota point on sheridan looks a bit taller maybe another 10ft and it is a fun jump but no running water.

 ;D ;D ;D

I had a Yeti sighting in this general vicinity today. On South Rockerville and 372 I think. Good to see you back on the bike Alan.

Thought that was you when I went flying by!  Woulda stopped, but I was already late...sorry.
