Nineteen TrailBlazers under Peggy’s lead took the scenic drive on highway 22 to head to Mt. Magazine in search of fall color. As we drove Highway 309 toward the park we saw beautiful color galore along the road. Skies were a little gray but all of a sudden the sky was brighter and the sun came out! Lots of times it is like a foggy cloud in the park. We thought we were lucking out this time, but by the time we reached the Visitors Center it was gray and windy! Later the winds died down and we felt warm hiking because of the humidity.

Nineteen TrailBlazers under the command of Buffalo Bob headed up the Pig Trail Scenic Highway (Highway23) to Hike Hare Mountain. There were lots of beautiful green fields along the way because this area must have had more rain than some of us! Eventually we got on the rocky gravel road toward our destination. There were lots of people camped in clearings along the road obviously there to start off the hunting season. Only a few of us were wearing orange but we are so noisy that no self-respecting hunters or deer would want anything to do with us!

Twenty-Five TrailBlazers headed out for Mt. Nebo on scenic Highway 22 but we did not yet see fall foliage. We did manage to find a shortcut that cut off some mileage but alas we never did see First Free Will Baptist Church mentioned in our instructions! However, some of us did see it on the way back because we missed the shortcut back!

Today we assembled at the Nature Center for the first activity of the 2017-2018 hiking season. We enjoyed refreshments and visited with people new and old. Our program was to inform us about the bear and big cat population in Arkansas. OK, OK, hold your horses and don’t be so impatient! Yours Truly knows you are champing at the bit to hear about the surprise.

On a gray, rainy, sometimes muddy, Friday sixteen TrailBlazers headed toward Jasper for our annual pilgrimage to Buffalo Lodge to seek fun and adventure either/or on the trails or the Buffalo River. En route Bill and Yours Truly checked Lost Valley Trailhead that had a roaring creek to cross and the Ponca Access to the Buffalo River that had high water flowing over the low water bridge!
