The previous post didn't seem to work for whatever reason. Tech problems are hard to solve when you need to find wifi, hah.
I drove from Natchez Parkway to the Buffalo River, Arkansas. About 45 minutes from the site the scenery changed from flatlands to mountain. The roads became fast, twisty, as well as the drivers. An absolute blast. The road that led to the primitive camp site was steep and rock/dirt. The subaru handled it well.
As I stepped out of the car I was greeted by two gentleman, Keith snd Jimmy. A few minutes later they dully befriended me offering me a beer and asking if I would like to go fishing. I said I'd go along, but no fishing (not my thing). I followed them down the beach onto a rock channel in the river. The views were great and the guys were cool.
When I came back to the site after exploring Jimmy asked if I wanted cheese. I turn around to see them grilling burgers and reply "you bet". After hanging out for a while I decided to wash in the river.
I took a short hike a couple hours later and the trail was cool from what I saw of it. Trail was called the BRT, which im assuming is the Buffalo River Trail. When I got back to camp I had another beer with the guys and finally went to sleep after a long day.
Today (April 23) I said goodbye to the guys, left the site, and headed towards Chickasaw National Recreation Area in OK. I'm sitting just inside the border of Oklahoma taking a needed break. Crackers and cheese and a good stretch. My allergies have been bothering me the last couple of days.
Sounds like a good day!
