Great write-up! You make me actually want to travel South to tackle that trail - after about a year of prep, of course. Really well done.

I also am not at all a spider fan.

At all.

Thanks for pointing to your well written trip report. A buddy and I are hoping to do that sometime in the fall.

Thanks, guys. I got some good advice from a fellow hammocker here, and I decided to toss the strategies and rule books out the window. If river crossings are the “crux” of this trail, then everything I’ve learned says there’s almost always a safe way to cross. Somewhere. But I definitely stressed about it a lot less, thanks to him. It’s a gorgeous trail, you won’t regret it.

What a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing.

It really is! I’ve only been out there in the fall and winter, so this was a real treat.

Great write-up, and the clean layout of the web pages is excellent.

Cellphone camera? They've gotten so good these days that I can rarely justify carrying even a micro 4/3 camera.

Thank you! I’m very computer illiterate, so I’m sort of learning as I go! Yes, I took the pics with an iPhone X in HDR. I’ve never really taken pictures that other people would see, so never paid much mind to how they turned out before. I’m learning as I go on that one also. Thank God for Google!

great write up!

Thanks! I had to write it twice - had to remember that it wasn’t a novel

Great write up and pictures! I grew up in Russellville, AR, but wasn't a hiker back then. This makes me want to go back and try some trails out down there! Thanks for sharing.
