A message from the President, John Burns:

 

Welcome to the Ouachita Mountain Hikers!

 

If you are a hiking enthusiast and haven’t read Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, you’ll want to read this book. Bryson describes his adventures while hiking the  Appalachian Trail with friend Stephen Katz. The book has some great laugh-out-loud moments.  Bryson’s book captures the spirit of the Ouachita Mountain Hikers as we walk in the woods. Not only do we appreciate the beauty and history of the Arkansas trails, but we share some great laugh-out-loud moments as well.

 

I hope that all of you will continue to hike the trails and help the club as often as

possible with trail maintenance and trash pickup. If you want to be more involved,

plan on attending our meetings at the Garland County Library or volunteer as a hike

leader.

 

Check your Hike Flash weekly for the upcoming hikes and meeting dates. Mark

your calendar and plan to attend our three annual social events: Hiker’s Picnic,

Welcome Back Hike, and the Christmas party. Food, fun, and friendship are

always in attendance.

 

I look forward to seeing you on the trails and at our events this hiking season.

 

John Burns
