Dates: various dates October 2025
Location: Ouachita National Recreation Trail (Oklahoma, Arkansas)
Logistic Details: I started this trail on the eastern terminus at Talimena State Park in Oklahoma and ended it, due to a bad case of trench foot, 95 miles later at Big Brushy Creek Trailhead. I started a bit too early. The rain combined with the trail overgrowth was a combination that kept my feet soaked for days, leading to phase 3 trench foot that was beginning to get painful - so I had to get off trail.
