Meandering in the Arkansas Ozarks

[Offroadnutz]

Spent a few days in the Ozarks trying to escape the texas triple digit temps.
During this trip I did some aimless wandering, spent time on the TAT, FNT, and even the OAT on my way back home. All in all I traveled a little over 400 miles explorng in Arkansas.

These pics are on Lee creek.

Now for the unsanitized version. To use our presidents saying, this really was a s**t hole. What made it worse was all the used diapers everywhere. Even along the creek.
This is why places get shut down. I was plannng on camping here until I arrived and was disgusted.



At one point I stoped to take a pic. When I went to get back in I saw this guy. I unknowlingly drove over his head when I stoped. Good thing cause he was right where I put my foot when I got out. Good Lord was looking over me. Lol

More to come....

Saw this cool looking rock formation on the TAT.

This is Grays spring. Gaia has the location wrong on the maps. I notced their topography is wrong in many places too.


Guess this used to be the spring till it dried up.

These are the famous Mulberry river. Nice cool water for taking a break.

The FNT road 1003 was closed for some reason between 95424B and 1509.

My trusty copilot.

These views are from a cool campsite I found. Sits on the top of the mountain with shear drop off on the south side that makes for some nice views.

There are a ton of cool hidden gems in Arkansas and almost limitless places to explore and camp. Used to live there and have been trying to get back since I left. lol

where are some places you like? we love the buffalo river, but most everything seems to be private property or the camp areas there are for tent camping only and we have a little 8' tear drop camper we bring, and that seems to be hard to find a place for. any good spots you know for a small camp trailer?

Redding campground is good if all you want is Mulberry river access. Haw creek falls is good for easy water access on Big Piney and for exploring the area. White Rock Mountain is a manned campground and could be good for using as a base camp to leave your trailer while you explore the area.(Lots to see in this area). I usually just disperse camp anywhere that looks good.
Got in the habit of, whenever im exploring and see a good campsite large enough for 2 rigs, I mark it on my Gaia. I literally have hundreds of viable campsites on my app.

Is there anyway you could share your Gaia folder?
