My Ouachita backpacking trip wasn't the longest, and it wasn't even new territory (I've stayed at Red Spring and hiked through the area many times), but it was just what the doctor ordered. The fall foliage hasn't quite kicked in yet, probably because of high temps and high rainfall (the area was the wettest I've ever seen it in October), so I guess I'll just have to make a few more weekend trips out over the next month.

Given how my football teams performed this weekend, why not? :)

* This being hauling around an uncomfortable pack loaded with food, water, shelter, stove, etc., up and down rough, sometimes rocky terrain for miles.

How about those Pokes? Maybe Gundy is finally growing into the job (as T Boone says).
