Nineteen TrailBlazers and one canine under the lead of Captain Linda headed to Lake Fort Smith on a very mild, but gray day to check out a new trail for us, Shepherd Springs Loop. We avoided the rain, thanks to Yours Truly, who brought her heavy raincoat and her old camera with the chip in the lens to successfully foil any precip with her advanced version of reverse psychology! As we trekked along, we had several glimpses of the large lake that seems to go on forever.

After the fiasco of the Great American Turkey Weekend Washout, fifteen TrailBlazers and one canine under the command of Judith and Ed were more than ready to head for Lake Lincoln on a sunny day to get the lead out. It was a little chilly early on but in no time we warmed up trekking up and down.

Eighteen TrailBlazers under the command of Captain Katie headed to Oklahoma on a chilly, gray, blustery day to hike Rough Canyon Trail and check out the caves. It was a tad nippy while waiting in line to use the facilities, a time-consuming operation with so many hikers of the female persuasion in our club! Once we hit the trail it was not so windy, so it turned out to be a great day for hiking. In the fullness of time the sun even came out to warm us up and brighten the remains of fall foliage.

Thirty-three TrailBlazers under the command of Captain Becky headed to Petit Jean on a beautiful day in search of the seven hollows. If truth be told, all seven hollows are a tad elusive which means that either there are fewer than seven, or that all seven cannot be seen from the trails! Some fall color was still in evidence but it has passed its prime. Yours Truly hates to admit it but some of the hikers in our club, including herself, also may have passed our peak, but we keep on trucking!

Thirty-two TrailBlazers under the command of Captain Becky headed to the Pelsor area on a perfect autumn day to hike two scenic loops. We were all champing at the bit to get on the trail again because the last two weeks our hikes were canceled due to weather concerns.

Twenty-two (one score plus 2!) TrailBlazers and 2 canines under the command of Nebo Dude made the scenic drive to Mt.Nebo to hike the Rim Trail on an overcast and breezy morning. In addition to our oldies but goodies, some of our new faces came back for more today, so we managed not to scare them off last week. We’ll have to try harder for Halloween! {gallery}2015-10-17-Mt-Nebo{/gallery}
