We ran amok this past weekend in Mena, Arkansas. Believe me - this was some social distant nature. Ouachita National Forest is gorgeous and thick. It was a 4-1/2 hour drive from our house. We left Friday morning - arrived about 1 pm, and were on some trails by 2:30. Zoom Zoom and jounce the brain.
Ray had a blast with his RZR. We enjoyed time with son Kevin and his wife Maria. Total chill - for real - the temps were high 70s by day and 60s in the morning. Wow! Even had a nifty bonfire Sat eve.
Altogether logged about 60 miles on trails over 3 days. It's reassuring to know there's a lot of nature out there and some darn thick woods. I'll share some more pics on Wednesdays. Deer, fawns, butterflies!
Hi Joanne - certainly looks fun ... and I love river swimming - around falls ... did a bit when I was on Vancouver Island. Wonderful birthday weekend away and a catch up ... sounds idyllic! Take care - Hilary
