Nimblewill Nomad - Odyssey 2011: Triple-O (Part 5)

Aug. 13, from Cole Fork Creek to Aug. 14, Buffalo National River, Arkansas

After a second time off the trail, this one for a more serious broken leg injury, and taking a little more than 6 weeks to heal, the Nimblewill Nomad, undaunted, is again back on the trail. Returning to the same location in the Silimore Section, he heads out with an even greater determination to finish this odyssey, The Triple-O. Now making his way along the Ozark Highlands Trail, he treks through to Cap Fork Creek, stopping to chat awhile with a fellow trail-mate (a noisy rattle snake), and then on to Spring Creek Trailhead. The Nomad continues his hike with a roadwalk, taking him through downtown Big Flat, and eventually to the Buffalo Hiking Trail, next the Buffalo National River.

How in the world did you take the heat?! My wife and I tried to just do a day hike starting at cripple creek in the middle of September. We made it to the first creek crossing and turned around. We were covered in seed ticks and sweating like crazy. You're one tough guy!
