Haven't had a chance to read through the whole issue but was really excited to see the piece on the Ouachita trail. My neck of the woods rarely gets much hiking press. I actually maintain a couple miles of that trail and was pleased to see it covered. Keep up the good work!

Thanks WanderAR, glad you had a chance to check it out! Hopefully we'll be able to feature more on the OT and other destinations in the area moving forward as well.

Got a chance to read Issue 10. Great stuff, wonderful work as before. TrailGroove always has fantastic photographs, absolutely breathtaking!

My favorite this issue is "The Ouachita Trail" by Susan Dragoo. Fine work, I hope everyone takes the time to read this contribution. I've had a couple of opportunities to hike the eastern portion of the OT, and it's a great experience.

Those who read and enjoy TG have something in common. The wilderness calls us. It calls, and we feel compelled to answer the only way we know. The OT (I feel) is probably just about the best place to visit for us folks west of the AT and east of the rockies. It's a great place to answer that call from the wilderness.

Thanks for another wonderful issue of great info and pictures. I loved it all; of course the OT story is close to home for me as I'm about halfway thru section hiking it and hope to complete it this fall/winter.

@WanderAR, thank you for your contribution to the trail!

I also appreciate the InReach info, as my McMurdo FastFind is nearing retirement age.

Thanks Gary & Leigh, glad you enjoyed Issue 10! I haven't done any hiking on the Ouachita Trail in years, but I'm hoping to make it out that way for some backpacking later this fall after we start to get snowed in here...I'm definitely looking forward to it!
