October 6-9 Arkansas hunt for the toothbrush inventor

[CowboyTaco]

I'm game for whatever. I hope the time between breakfast and lunch is more than 1:45....so even if we did stay at Long Pool, I would think that we'd be up and on the road by 8. That would put is starting around 10am. 2-4 hours of trails before breaking for lunch.

Since I haven't done the trail before, I don't know where the good spots are to stop for lunch/camping whatever. I'm along for the drive and good to do whatever makes the most sense and allows us to enjoy the area that we are in. I hope we have some time to hike/fish/shoot/whatever. I think there are some cave waterfalls in the area around Dover. I think I remember hearing that if we push through the trails too fast, we'll be done before we know it.

x2 I am going where the main group goes. I have no problem with Long Pool and do not want to extend my drive anymore than necessary Thursday night. The 1:45 drive the next morning is a good enough reason for everyone to get up and get going. And why are we stopping for lunch for a couple of hours? Either way the rule of traveling with a group is stay with the group.

Again, just along for the ride/drive, but some things that look cool that aren't too far out of our way (at least I don't think)

Pam's Grotto

Pack Rat Falls

Haw Creek Falls

Falling Water Falls

Twin Falls

If no group interest, I might check some of these out Monday.

I know my sammich maker would enjoy a short hike to some of those.

We drive right by Falling Water falls.

 

[tx_shooter]

Wonder how they came up with that name....

 

[tex]

Just to confirm we are starting in St Joe at the Woolum crossing of the buffalo river?
There is a small gas station in st joe to top off gas and they have ethanol free.

 

[Silverback]

Oh.. good gas!! I'll try to burn up my fuel cans on the ride up and refill them their.

 

[tx_shooter]

Even premium?

Even premium?

You're probably out of luck on that. The pumps at this place are the old analog style.

 

[CowboyTaco]

What you said: The pumps at this place are the old analog style.

I just heard "bring cash."

 

[Silverback]

LOL.. probably right.

 

[balakay]

Even premium?

According to their sign on Google Maps street view they have unleaded, non ethanol, and diesel. No premium.

I think they took card...think.

I've attached a kmz file with only the points of interest that I had mapped out previously. Several of your landmarks and more are on the file.

I plan to swim at falling water. There is a rope swing and boards on a tree to climb up to the top after you jump in.
80s and humid is good enough to cool off.

Trailer is packed... still need to find a place for the gallons (6.5 gallons to be exact) of drinking water the wife wants to bring.. I think its a bit overkill. Looks like bed of truck it will be. Box is FULL. I still need to organize tools and get that box ready to go. Tomorrow's project.

I could go for a place to swim right now.. sweating my ass off at the moment.

Just have to make it through 8 hours of work today then off to start packing and loading up. I should find out today what my sammich maker's class schedule will be for Thursday if we can get out of here early.
