I heard your cooking SKOTTLE (NAME?) is badass....

 

[pmccraney]

Yes, it's a great. It's pretty easy and versatile. 5 star product, especially when cooking meals for a group.

Been great watching these posts appear. Looks like a fantastic time made better by having some kids along. Hey @runpmc - any fish in those waters?

Google Maps

The spot we camped was on Albert Pike Rd. It is improperly marked on Google Maps as Albert Pike Store. That is about 8 miles away.

The road crossed Crooked Creek twice right in this area and both crossings have 2 nice riverside campsites.

Dumb question, whose 80? I like it.

 

[Bossman]

That'd be mine. Thanks

None. Trust me I looked (hard)... Even had a fly rod in the car just in case. All I saw was 1 sucker minnow. I think they stock it down river where the water is bigger. It was pretty skinny up there except for a couple of deeper pools. If they do stock it up there (doubtful), I'm sure it's a put and take deal and gets fished out pretty quick.

Yep, but downstream;

Little Missouri Fly Fishing - Stocking Schedule

 

[MEMCruiser]

Little MO has great small mouth bass near the albert pike recrational area. Lake greeson, not too far away, has stocked trout which is better to fish in cooler months.

Ive been saying for years this group could do a seven day excursion in AR and barely scratch the surface. If you want to fish, camp on Leatherwood wildlife area near the confluence of the White and Buffalo River. It would be epic. WCT and the rarely seen GT did a trip a little west of there that was writtin up in TT.

Oachita Mountains - See and Eat Mississippi

Pics from the weekend. Great time all around. Ready to go back.

 

[wngrog]

David, what did yall find over in that area from off the grid camping? I want to get over there sooner than later and hope you found some cool spots for a trip.

 

[YotaJosh]

Ouachita is the correct spelling of the National Forest. Glad you enjoyed our neck of the woods. There's an awesome 30 mile loop trail for backpacking that was right in that area around Little Missouri Falls.

 

[wngrog]

Dang. I know that I keep spelling it wrong. Sorry.

Spent a couple days in Tishomingo pre-thanksgiving with my two oldest. Hands-down best spot in MS. Park was practically empty due to the cold weather - 25 the first night and 29 the second. Brought the RTT on the trailer since it was too cold to ENO. Really like that setup. Tent covers the whole trailer and gear all slides in through the tailgate. No stress packing. I wanna do a few good test runs of that setup to see if it will be practical for next summer's big trip.

We hiked about 6 miles of trails, but other than that just enjoyed the woods and campfire time. Great spot and great drive to get there. Go.
