Day in the Ouachita's

[tchughes]

I'm new to the site and have really enjoyed seeing what everyone is building and the trips they have been on. I decided to hit some of the National Forest roads and thought I would post some of the pics here. Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think.

Firstly my ride @ 1500 ft. Stock with AT tires.

Taken from North Fork Pinnacle Mtn.

There are little campsites scattered all over the roads/trails. Looks like someone had some fun.

Its hard to tell from the photo but some of the less traveled roads are a little rougher.

Who knew there were biking/walking trails this far out.

I'm glad this guy didn't show his head while I was up there.

And finally the reason we get out there. AWESOME

Looks like a good time. Did you go down any of the rougher trails pictured?

HAppy to see you got out! The pics are great. You should really think about coming on the HAlloween trip with us!

Looks like a fun trip!:victory:

my wife has mountainbiked on those trails 3 or 4 times- there's a Ouachta Challenge there every year she rides in.

Oh yes, I hit every trail I could between Lake Winona and the peak I was on. I only saw two other people on the trails and one was on a Mtn bike.

I would love to get in on the foliage run but I'm just not sure I can have everything I need together by then. I'm new to ExPo and still trying to figure out what I need and where to store all of it.

You dont need anything fancy bud. Walmart tent, stove, flashlight, and I think beer in an ice chest are the typical necessities... and I dont even need the beer! If you already have that... you're good to go. If you dont, I've got just about 2 of everything! Join us!

We camped often a few years back so I have a few things. I'm more concerned about keeping food cold for days, having plenty of gas and making sure I have plenty of water for cooking and cleaning up.

If you have a suggestion on a post I could read on the basics it would be appreciated. I have looked around and can't find much about getting started.

We will be stopping a couple of times at towns for fuel along the way. You will not need extra fuel. You will also be able to pick up ice at the station. Bring a few gallons of water and you will be fine. I usually bring 21 gallons, so there should be plenty extra.

Hope to see you out there...
