The Trail stretches across Arkansas from near Little Rock westward to Oklahoma.  I walked a section last week.

Here are images from my trek.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two slanted blazes warn of a turn in the trail.  In this case, a hard left.

I go to the woods to renew my soul, visit with my Creator, and learn from nature.  I always come back with more focus and insight on the next leg of my life journey.
