Twenty trailblazers made the trek south to hike the LOViT (Lake Ouachita Vista Trail). We hiked 4.5 miles from the Joplin store to Tompkins Bend. This quartz-lined trail winds through the woods with several beautiful lake views.
The weather was perfect, but we were disappointed that the dogwoods were not early bloomers as we had hoped. Happy to have two newbies on the trail with us today. Welcome, Rich and Harshad! We missed “Yours Truly” (aka Marilyn). We hope she is on the mend and back on the trail soon. The best news is that we finished with the same number of hikers we started with.
Next week we hike Buckeye and Caney Creek Trails. Please sign up on this site if you plan to go.
