Things have been pretty quiet around here lately but I haven’t fallen off a cliff or gotten lost in the woods. Instead, I am buying a house in Russellville Ark. I expect to close in 2 weeks and move about a week later. It will be so nice to finally get settled after last summer’s big move from Kansas City to Fort Smith.
Why Russellville? Within a 90-minute drive are 6 or 7 wilderness areas, much of the Buffalo River, about 2/3 of the Ouachita Trail, all of the Ozark Highlands Trail, and some of the best parts of the Ozarks and Ouachitas. What’s not to like about that?

Awesome area! Great starting point for so many of the great hiking and biking trails in our area. I wish I lived further that direction to shave some of the time off it takes getting to the many hiking and mountain biking trails. Good luck!
