On March 16, 2022, I set out on my longest thru hike yet. The Ouachita Trail is a 223 mile footpath that begins in eastern Oklahoma at Talimena State Park and heads east through the Ouachita National Forest to Pinnacle Mountain State Park near Little Rock Arkansas.
In this video, I get my feet wet (both figuratively and literally)on the first three days of my hike and travel 51 miles from Talimena State Park to Queen Wilhemina State Park. At Queen Wilhelmina, I picked up a resupply, real food, and a warm hotel room.
