Personal:

AM: 6-mile out-and-back to Hot Spring County Line on another great, fall morning.

PM: 8-mile out-and-back on Ouachita National Trail starting west from Hwy. 9 Trailhead. This is the kind of (perfect) trail where you're startled if you actually see another human...so beautiful and serene with a cool breeze through the forest.

Total: 14 Miles.
