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 OMH President Ouachita Mountain
