I’ve kept busier than it might appear, but much of my hiking recently has been on trails I’ve covered before and I haven’t found anything new to say about them. I’ve nearly finished hiking the OHT again, for instance, and have been collecting GPS data this time around. I’ll soon publish a set of maps for the whole trail, with the new mile markers, private property boundaries, many well-known waterfalls, etc.
In the mean time, I’ve recently published maps of the East Fork, Hurricane Creek, Richland Creek, and Leatherwood Wildernesses and the Redding/Spy Rock Loop. The wilderness maps are rather bare-bones now but as I get out and explore more of those areas I’ll add to them.
Dec 22 update: I’ve also updated my Buffalo River Trail maps. They now include a section of the trail that had not previously been published.
Hey Michael, can you give me some info on camp sites in the US-65 to AR-14 section of the Buffalo River Trail?
Thanks and happy holidays
I think the regs are similar to the Natl Forest – you can basically camp anywhere. Of course, Leave No Trace protocol restricts that a bit. Much of the area is either too steep or too rocky for a tent and the flattish bottom-land areas are often covered with cane. I think a person will have to be willing to make-do with whatever they can find.
