Arkansas Ozark Nat. Forest 9/20/06

[jrsteffes]

I plan to vist the Ozark National Forest for the first run in my new Trooper! It dosent seem that there are to many arkansans on the Expedition Portal so I plan to go it alone (with my wife and dog). We plan to do some exploring on the 20th of September and then camp out that evening at www.turnerbend.com. I have visited this area before but with littel travel on the many OHV trails. I belive that most are fire roads with a few side spurs. I will take lots of pictures and post them up upon return.

Super! I understand that the Ozarks are incredible, so I can't wait to see your photos and hear about the trip.

Do you suppose you'll get some fall colors in the vegetation? I have no idea if the trees there are deciduous or not.

A husband, wife, and dog cruising in the "outback." Very cool.

Here are a few pic's from a previous trip to the area. Hopefully some of the trees have started to change but its probably a littel early.

I have been a few times around Cass, AR. The TLCA's Green Country Cruisers has a Poker Run in the spring. Here is a link with some of their pictures in the trails part of the site:

Are you planning on staying on the roads or going off road?

The trails will make your new vehicle old quickly.

Thanks for the info!!

Could I run Mountain Creek Trail stock? I will be at it alone and do not have a winch.......looks like some serious mud!
I know its not smart to off-road as a single truck so maybe I should wait to find someone else who wants to give it a try? I was planning on mainly fire roads with the wife. I will have a cell phone and some 12 miles FRS radios, but the phones dont work much out there as Im sure you know.

Im back from camping. Me and my wife had alot of fun. The Trooper mainly saw forest service roads with a few that required 4 wheel drive. It seems to be quite capable and I am looking forward to some of my first mods! Here are some pics!
