Hiking in Ouachita SP

Lake Ouachita State Park is 15 miles and on the other side of Hot Springs AR.  The Caddo Bend

Trail is 4 miles around the perimeter of a peninsula in the lake.  Some fine views along the way.  It's most interesting feature of nature is the swath of missing trees from a tornado in 2011.  That area had all the trees ripped out of the ground so it is now regrowing but with much more sparse cover.  The rest of the land is covered in older growth mature trees.

No good plan lasts long when the weather is involved.  Getting home is getting "interesting".  There is now snow in the forecast for Knoxville TN this week.  The heck with that.  We're now headed to Tupelo MS tomorrow for a couple days, then Royson GA and probably Hendersen NC before turning north for the final 2 day run.  We may even delay the arrival for a day if the snow makes that practical.  We won't know that for a few more days when we see what this long range forecast turns out to be in the short range.
