I should have asked this a week ago. Lol

The weather finally turned so I loaded up the cruiser Friday afternoon and went to Shipland WMA.

As the over night temperature dropped low enough to enjoy a sleeping bag. As I sipped my morning coffee a row boat came by. He was moving fairly fast with the current.

Anther view from my riverside perch. The mighty Mississippi was rolling.

I spent the day cruising around Twin Oaks WMA and Delta National Forest.

The roads were perfect and almost dust free after the rain earlier in the week.

I burned 2 tanks of fuel cruising around with the windows down and the radio up stopping at cool spots for a cold beverage or two.

After driving every road on two WMAs and DNF I worked my way home on as many backroads as possible and enjoy a fine beer before grilling a steak and polishing off a lingering bottle of scotch

A very good weekend.

Cool trip. I think I passed you Friday afternoon around Bovina.

@WharfRat cool trip. Didn’t know there was even camping options on the river in that area.

 

[wngrog]

Sorry I missed it. I was highly productive instead.

Did you see any humans in Shipland ? Was the campsite on the river of just close?

 

[WharfRat]

I saw 1 other person who was riding through. A island separated the main river channel form the camp site.

Someone was asking me about this today. Sure would be a nice route when the leaves were changing

The Georgia Traverse - Solo ..... let's try this again

 

[WharfRat]

yelp... And a chainsaw might be a good idea after the storm last week.

This is great Nolen. Just what we are looking for. Should be heading out to Ashville at the end of the month. I'd like to try to do at least some of this.

The east part is the best for sure. Also make sure one leg of the Asheville trip drive the Blue Ridge

GaiaGPS - HoneyBear Loop


If anyone wants to take the loop we took from Hot Springs up in the Ouachitas, here is the route

 

[Fireman]

How was it?

 

[wngrog]

How was it?

I had a blast.

My chest was sore from working the steering the next day!

Any good camping options on that route? Heading to Ark this weekend and would like to check that area out.
