Arkansas "Overland" Trip May 2015

[ntsaint]

What do you have planned for us Andy? I have 2 working chainsaws.

I've got the first day ready. Lunch at Oark cafe then some easy but scenic driving, cool trail or two. There is a great campsite area i mapped on GPS but figure we may need to get there pretty early to snag it.

Sat and Sunday still wide open. Supposed to get with the local guys we met a few weeks ago next week to plot out some routes.

And we will need the chainsaws...

This is on the top of a hill out in the middle of nowhere. Could support a small group. Be cool to camp there and build a fire in that chimney.

Nice

I am game. Everyone is more than welcome to stage at my house Thursday night. Just bring sleeping bag due to all the beds are taken by current house guests. (cousins staying for a bit to get back on there feet) So I have 60 ft of prime concrete downstairs with a full bathroom.

Sounds good Bomar, probably will take you up on that.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I gotta get back into a hundy FAST so I can make this trip as it is literally right down the road from my house! Hell, I might make the trip in my Sequoia!

10 days out on the overlanding truck camping trip in the Ozark Forest. Right now 3 is the number...and none of us know our way around. Should be fun.

 

[Bomar]

I will have a red meat, gun, whiskey (iced tea), and a couple of chainsaws with 3 days to kill. I am confident I could even have fun in a wal-mart parking lot with those items.

^ I like where this guy's head is at

 

[aaronrules]

You guys will have fun! Trails are tight around here as everybody has jeeps or four wheelers. And bring the bug spray! They are super thick right now!

and with all the rain, the creeks will be rolling !!!! I think Bomar has it nailed with the supplies

 

[Bomar]

Man I am pumped.

 

[ntsaint]

Me too, ready to go!

I'm watching the weather, not much chance for rain up there all week. Hoping for a good dry week and weekend.

 

[cyberfalco]

I hope you guys have a great time. Weather is looking great.

agreed !! it seems all the trails have closed in to 4 wheeler width anymore...... and the paint on my cruiser proves it , ive even had to take my mirrors off a few times to clear tight spots

 

[slacker24-7]

water is falling out, and no rain in the forecast.. usually about 1.5 on the piney gauge will be safe for most crossings and im one to avoid deep water.... I bet by the weekend it should be ok..
