Spring in the Ozarks

[Linedawg]

Well it's an early spring in the Arkansas Ozarks. I can't wait to get on the trail todo some backpacking and camping. I'll be out there this weekend as soon as I get my wife's garden tilled. I can't decide if I want to do the Ozark Highland Trail or the Buffalo River Trail.

Hey Linedawg,

Early spring here in Wyoming as well - I'm just over a mile high...No snow to be found. Hopefully you can get the garden in order quickly and make it out first thing this weekend! I was out your way and did a long weekend trip on the Ouachita Trail a while back. I say a while but now that I think about it that was about 20 years ago! Being my first backpacking / camping trip outside of my home state, (TX) those hills were definitely a new experience. (And tough!) Very beautiful and remote country for sure. Completing the hike I started back then and thruhiking the whole trail into Oklahoma is definitely still on my list.

Doesn’t look like you can go wrong with either of your two choices for this weekend, that’s for sure.
