As a life long resident of Arkansas, I love to visit all the treasures of our state parks. I’ve known of Queen Wilhelmina for several years, but it’s location just kept pushing it down the list of places to visit. I have mixed feelings about the state park. On the one hand there are several …

2022 ONF Adventure
The Ouachita National Forest is a favorite of mine. While not as technical as the Ozarks, there are still a ton of great trails to explore. The idea was pretty simple: My buddy Jackson and I would meet at Queen Wilhelmina State Park and drive across the Ouachita National Forrest to Lake Sylvia. We knew …
January Camping
What a brilliant idea this was! So, it’s been a little while since Rendezvous in the Ozarks and we were all itching to camp and ride trails again. So a couple of friends and I decided to do just that last weekend. You know, when the weather dropped to 18 degrees at night. Yeah… Things …
Well That Was Interesting
The whole COVID-19 thing is/was a really weird time. I’ve moved jobs, worked on the Jeep, and been to Rendezvous In The Ozarks (RITO) 2021. While there I went through 3 days of rain, lack of tools to overcome, failure after failure in my setup, and a generation appreciation for overlanding. I’ll be doing a …
Rendezvous In The Ozarks
Going to kick this post off with a shout out to Natural State Overland for the great work they put up in making this event happen. Also want to give a shout out to Byrd’s Adventure Center for hosting it. So on October 13, 2021 I loaded up the Jeep TJ and headed out to …
Hello September, I’m ready to Camp!
I believe that Arkansas has two seasons where it shines as a state. One is the springtime when everything starts to bloom and the fish start getting ready to irritate me for another season. The other is fall when cool evenings and clear skies beg for campfires and morning coffee. To be clear, the fall …
So I Did a Thing
Going to be upfront that I’ve wanted a Jeep since I was in High School. There were a handful of outings that I went on with friends who had CJ-7 Jeeps and I loved it! Fast forward in life and I bought a 1997, the year I graduated High School, Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport. I …
Kayaking at Pinnacle Mountain
There are a lot of things to do at Pinnacle Mountain Park in Little Rock. The most obvious one being to hike to the top of the mountain. I’ve enjoyed several weekends just hanging out and having a picnic in the field, but lately I’ve started kayaking here more and more. There is a boat …
Adventuring to New Mexico
The majority of this site is dedicated to adventuring all over Arkansas. There really are a ton of great places to get out and see here in the Natural State. Every once in a while Hope and I feel the need to pack the car up and head out. With a few extra vacation days …
Kayaking in Little Rock Arkansas
Ok, so the weather is starting to turn cooler and the leaves are starting to change. The breeze brings a slight chill, but the direct sunlight will balance that out and keep you warm. If the wind is winning out over the sunshine then you just add another layer! This is fall and this is the …
