As you can see from the photo, I still had foot cream, sunscreen, first aid cream, and Dawn Soap at the end of eight days. The floss is for size reference, but I’m looking for smaller floss containers. I despise plastic floss picks when I see them in the woods.

Some 1-person tents will have two major spars or… Continue reading One day an Ozark Trail Thru Hike hiking missouristateparks ozarktrail Ask MetaFilter

We hike anywhere from 3 to 4 miles at a time up to 7 miles with a goal of a 10-mile round trip day hike. Sometimes it’s a single trail or we combine multiple trails at a state park. During these longer hikes I found it useful to have a large hiking bag and not… Continue reading One day an Ozark Trail Thru Hike hiking missouristateparks ozarktrail Ask MetaFilter

Funds, however, were non existent and my CFO (i.e. my wife) wouldn’t increase my discretionary fund. Further south, you can find Klepzig Mill, a historic building constructed nearly 100 years ago along the banks of Rocky Creek. A short detour off the main trail will take hikers to Rocky Falls, an impressive cascade that flows… Continue reading One day an Ozark Trail Thru Hike hiking missouristateparks ozarktrail Ask MetaFilter
