I didn't include this story in my last post:

The first day, I make the trek up to Spy Rock and just sat and marveled at the grandeur of it all for a while. The day was wearing on, so I decided I...

Great photos!! Just out of curiosity, are these of the same bear? I know the two on the road are, but what about the one near the camper? They are truly majestic animals, I am amazed by them every...

Mountainborn, that is some awesome footage. That bear is obviously habituated as you can see it is picky with its choices. Thank you for running the bear off as well! With people like you, maybe we...

If you are easily offended, please do not continue to read my rant.







I could offend a great many people with my comments and opinions, so I will keep them to myself......for the most...

Let me know and congrats!! I just got back this sunday from a hike and it was awesome! I started at OHT waypoint 13, took the Spy Rock spur, and checked out the SPECTACULAR view. I tell you what,...

Hello Newbie,

I am very new to this as well and have become addicted to this "sport". When I go geocaching, I won't look at the hint unless I come back with a DNF. In this event, I will look at...

JClaudii, I wouldn't be able to go that extreme on the OHT (Ozark Highland Trail). You aren't allowed to cut trees for shelters and such. However, I actually have thought about making some kind of...

Actually, I am 5'6" and the tent I have that you could borrow is just a little tight for me. Not that it can't be used, but I have two and take my other one. Anyway, if you are ever interested, I...

I don't have an extra sleeping bag, however I do have a small tent. How tall are you?

Black bears smell a lot like old wet moldy dog laundry, for lack of a better description. Right, my first time was life changing, but now it is just majestic.

Hello BSA534!! My last encounter was a funny trip actually. However, to answer your question, I definitely continued my hike and camped for the night less than a quarter mile from the sighting. I...

HikerRon, I am getting to out of shape (although round is a shape) to be much of a threat. Thank you, and your welcome. It was my privilege to serve! AR-Hick, An atheist was hiking in the woods when...

My name is Dallas and I live in Huntsville. I am a U.S. Marine who served from 2001 - 2005. I played in the sand box 2 tours for about 16 months total. I am now 27 and absolutely love the outdoors....

Hello OldRiverRunner!! I actually have spoken to one of the black bear researchers with NABC (North American Bear Center), where they research black bears, and he told me their study on bears showed...

What don't you have or do you have? As long as you have a pack, tent, sleeping bag, and food/water, you should be good. I have encountered black bears were I go on a couple of occasions, and I think...

They say that black bears are extremely shy creatures that usually run away from humans the moment they detect their presence. However, these are wild creatures that can become predacious (rogue)....

I thought this would be a fun story to recall. I was on a hike in the St. Paul area, Birds Landing, and I had a very interesting event. I used Google Earth to map out a trail through this impossible...

Bluesybreeze, I hope you feel well soon! Thank you for all your help also, you are a great Geocacher for beginners as you are patient and kind.

Hello all. I am an avid hiker and was just curious if there were any other hikers out there? I would like to find some hiking partners, but don't know any in my area. I do a lot of hiking in the St....

Let's see if it works. Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone for your help, I don't know what happened but it is working now. I am using firefox. I am going to see if I can put my Avatar back and post one more time.

I see it now in all of my posts but the one above. That is a little weird, but maybe it is working now.

No luck. Thanks for the help, but maybe someone knows a mod that can just do it for me?

Jclaudii, I am from Huntsville, AR. It has been raining all week and hasn't given me much of a chance to geocache and it is supposed to rain this weekend also so no hiking. I am going to try to post...
