Mark, I heard that the road to the overlook in the above pic with the pine to your right, has been closed, have you been there lately ? If so, it was a cool place that I’m glad to have gotten to see before it was . I’m hoping to get back down there maybe next month or so.

No gate or posted signs at the time I went a month ago, but I did have to navigate a substantial berm at the entrance.

Yea that berm wasn’t there last time I visited it.. maybe that was the “gate” I heard was there... thanks Mark

Berms in that area are usually the first step to closing off a trail. Gates go on ones that open or close seasonally.

Took a quick trip to a few of my favorite spots Sunday.

If you come to the Albert Pike area (which is on the Little Missouri River) the trout fishing is excellent. Especially below the dam of Lake Greeson In Murfreesboro. They do stock at Albert Pike as well. Also, Murfreesboro is home to the only public diamond mine in North America. Kids would probably enjoy digging in the dirt for diamonds. Lots of them found every year.

I’ve been really surprised at all the folks getting remote in the ouchitas and Ozarks during all this
A couple buddies and I are leaving in the morning to run the Arkansas section of the TAT. That should keep us out of the public for a few days
