Hit some spots with DNP on Friday. Saturday was really wet so stayed home.
Little River Canyon is bad ass. I will be back to hit some of the side roads we passed by and explore the hiking.

We also hit the Georgia Traverse/Pihoti trail.
Did not see much there to bring me back.

We had lunch with Doc Mesko in Mena then went to Little Missouri Falls

We continued east toward Albert Pike and found this beautiful spot to camp, cook and anguish over Ole Miss Football

I had a great time just going with the flow. It was really great just to relax and enjoy the company, the scenery, the food, everything!

4th and 25 tho...

JB, great to travel with you on Friday! Hate to hear it was wet at your house on Saturday, as there was never a time where we were on Sat or Sun that even required an umbrella.

DNP, how was the GX?

DNP, how was the GX?

MUCH better than I even hoped it would be! FAR better than any other SUV platform I've ever owned......

 

[wngrog]

I knew it would be good. That is good to know. Find me one that color and I will start building it for Berkley for her first ride. I love it.

What route did ya'll run through the Ouachita's? I'm familiar with the Albert Pike area, but didn't recognize those water crossings.

This looks like a post-card. Looks like the timing was just about perfect for colors; Hate that we missed out, especially since it wasn't a wash-out, but with limited time (really just a Saturday trip for us) and my kid coming along, we went with the odds. Glad you were rewarded for a good trip. Playing it safe ending up paying off pretty well too. My son had the time of his life and is already asking me when we are going out again.

@fjfodee, those water crossings were not in the Albert Pike area. That was our first night. Nolen has the coordinates - his friend Doc. Mesco (whom you probably know as well if you live in that area) told us how to get there. It's a little hidden gem.

The water crossing actually leads to a trail that is more "RZR friendly" than Land Cruiser friendly, so we had to turn back shortly after making the crossing.

The water crossings were at Cedar Rock over by Mena due east of Cove. It is an awesome remote campsite my friend from Mena told us about.

Thanks for the pics. It is amazing what beauty is just off the beat paths.
