Old River Trail, Compton to Ponca (September, 2002)

 
After nearly 2 years we were finally able to put another Buffalo River backpacking trip together.

This time there were six of us and we did a much better job of planning food, water, gear, etc.  =)

The hike began on Sunday around 2:30pm at Compton.  We hiked "Hemmed-In from the top" in about 2 hours.  For those of you who haven't done that hike it is about 2½ miles and about 1,500 foot elevation change.

The trail starts out pretty easy and is a nice hike through a pretty Ozark forest....
