Looked at the spreadsheet , and all I can say is its wow! This gives us plenty of options. Is water available along the trail this time of year? Thanks for all your help
Hey Thanks! I looked on the site and it sounds great . If I use a shuttle whos good?
Preacha Man,
How long is the loop from Kyles Landing to Ponca and is it actually a loop or will we back track? This would be great cause I don't want to pay a shuttle fee
We are looking to start about 2pm on friday and maybe do 20-25 miles total
We have decided to hike the Buffalo River Trail April 17-19. Anyone have any suggestions for what part of the trail to hike.
well I had a senior moment I am going to Conway Ark not Camden
I will be in this area on the 16-18th and was wondering where's a good place to backpack near by?
In our troop we have thought about using hammock for the older boys with @least therank of Star. Kind of make it a reward for the older boys.
