26th-27th overnite hike

On the weekend of the 26th and 27th I am going down to the Buffalo for a overnite hike. If anyone would care to meet up and tag along with me that would be great. I am the founder of Beyond the Face Adventures and am going to be hosting many trips to come and are looking for people with the same passion for the outdoors that I have. I moved here from New Hampshire 2 years ago and am loving the wilderness down here in Arkansas. If there are any takeres on the 26th and 27th let me know. You can also check out my website at beyondtheface.com to see what I am all about. Happy trails to you all.

Wish I could go Craig. Hope you get some takers!

Hi.. Just found you guys. Hope to see all of you guys on the trail. My Baby Brother and his son and I will but up that away that weekend. Actually will be there the 25, 26 and 27th. Going to do a couple of sections of the BRT. Stay in either Kyle's or Ozark. Don't exactly know where we be. I don't know how hard of a wekend they will want. Looks like we may meet up with another of my freinds and his son. Overall, I expect it to be great. Was just up there for a week a couple of weeks ago. Had a blast. Hope you get a few to meet up with you Snow.

Well snow.. how did your weekend go. Mine was great. LOTS of ticks out though. We lost count on how many we pulled off. Well they did... I only got them on my pants. Too much garlic I suppose

Eddie

It was great, I don't ever seem to attract ticks. I get them occasionally but not much. I hiked about twenty two miles in the weekend and it felt great. Working my way up to fifteen or sixteen in a day. When I do the OHT in the fall I want to be nice and strong.I enjoy it more if I can hike far and not be winded at the end of the day. Where did you all end up hiking?

I hiked from the parking area of Jim Villines boyhood home to Kiles Landing on the Buffalo River Trail. It is a great hike with lots of scenery. I know what you mean baout bringing the younglins, I brought my five year old this weekend for a dayhike, it was his first five miler, he did very well though not complaining much at all. Getting him ready for an overnite. Sounds like you had a good time,I really want to check out Hawksbill next time.

Yea the hawksbill is really nice. I wish we would have done it on the morning of the 26.. that sat. Loads of low lieing cloud cover. Would have been something else up and down that valley.

Hey Eddie,

Which falls are at Hawksbill, are they nice?

If the fuel prices ever go down, fat chance, i and the wife would like to get back up in the area of the
Craig. Back in around 1977 or 78 the college buddies and I went up in that area and explored around.
We had a blast. This was before all of the land had been acquired for the national river. We were able
to drive down to the river, by goat bluff and Steel Creek. Any way a great place in the state to visit.
If you guys get tired of me musing over the past just say so!

Hey, Ouachita,
Did you happen to still be in college back in 77 and 78, and if so, was it the U of A? The reason I ask is that I attended the University at that time and spent a lot of weekends on the Buffalo, either floating or hiking.
UL

I went to Henderson State from 72 to 76. I spent some time in the Ozarks during this time but mainly in the Ouachitas esp. the Caney Creek areas. Did quite alot of off trail hiking back then but a good bit on the OT. Back then it was real spotty on what was finished. Good memories..

Stay in either Kyle's or Ozark. Don't exactly know where we be. I don't know how hard of a wekend they will want. Looks like we may meet up with another of my freinds and his son. Overall, I expect it to be great. Was just up there for a week a couple of weeks ago. Had a blast. Hope you get a few to meet up with you Snow.
