After a whole year of planning, revising, and tweeking, the day has finally arrived to put up or shut up. So off I go. I think I have it mapped out to the nth degree, but it is, after all, a man-made plan. What awaits I will not know until it is stareing me the face. That's the fun part, right?
Day One is simple. Drive west. Drive for a full day to somewhere in western Arkansas. Somewhere like Horsehead Lake Recreation Area just shy of Fort Smith. Simple.
Rain! It's raining when I arrive at the camp site. Nothing like pitching a tent in the rain. And on your first day out. But Day One is in the books.
