    VIDEO: Ouachita Trail Thru Hike Part 1

    On March 16, 2022, I set out on my longest thru hike yet. The Ouachita Trail is a 223 mile footpath that begins in eastern Oklahoma at Talimena State Park and heads east through the Ouachita National Forest to Pinnacle Mountain State Park near Little Rock Arkansas. Along the 12 day hike, I am carrying my Warbonnet Ridgerunner Bridge Hammock.

    In this video, I get my feet wet (both figuratively and literally)on the first three days of my hike and travel 51 miles from Talimena State Park to Queen Wilhemina State Park. At Queen Wilhelmina, I picked up a resupply, real food, and a warm hotel room.

    Enjoyable video.

    Many moons ago I discovered a campground behind a little country store just down the mountain from the Queen Wilhelmena Lodge on one of my first motorcycle trips. The Lodge campground was full when I got there & the gal at the hotel desk mentioned it to me. $5/night, showers & a little grill/cafe for breakfast. The guy that ran the place was a big supporter of the Ouachita Trail & hikers.

    I think the question about what was rooting around in the woods being hogs, could also have been armadillos. They're all over AR, very destructive & root around like that looking for grubs & such.
