hiking

You're probably somewhere you're not supposed to be if you find yourself hiking on a trail with a tree that has red paint.

You may think you don't need tips to survive a bear attack until you're actually staring down a 600-pound grizzly in the woods.

You might not even notice it, but there is an entire color-coded system marking trees along the trails you hike in the woods.

Don't even think about trying to find this tree unless you're willing to do hard time.

Do you enjoy hiking like me? In Arkansas, there are numerous areas where you bask in the beauty of the natural state. But have you ever heard of Balanced Rock in Hot Springs National Park?

Lookie what I found... TexarkanaMaps.com, a site that gives you tons of information right at your fingertips for both sides of town, which means it's "twice as nice?"

With everyone being asked to stay indoors these days because of the coronavirus many of you may be beginning to get a little cabin fever. Playgrounds and Pavilions are closed but for now, parks remain open for walking or hiking in some areas of the natural state.

Troop 3 had some hiking to do this past weekend to finish up some merit badges going into their Court of Honor next week. They did great as always.

Texarkana Boy Scouts of American Troop 3 went on a campout the last weekend of August to Shady Lake, Arkansas inside the Ouachita National Forest. What a beautiful spot.
