August 14th:
I had actually drove some in to the night last night, and then spent the night in the parking lot of a Loves Travel Stop by IS 49 south of Mountainburg. I woke up, paid for a shower, and then hit the trail.
I big part of today would be spent driving through the Ozarks in the Ozark National Forest.
It was a good thing I stopped when I did. Today's section of the trail started out rough and rocky.
The Cooper Discoverer STT PRO's have really gotten a work out since they've been on this truck. I've been very happy with their performance.
A lot of dense vegetation here.
One thing about the Ozarks, there is so much dense forest in this area that it can be difficult to find a clearing where you can actually see a view. I got lucky. Someone built a house, and cut the trees down in front of it to see the mountain view.
Is this what they mean by being between a rock and a hard place? LOL.
Found another small opening in the trees to see the view.
This wild hog could sense my love for bacon, and was running down the road in front of me trying to get away.
Road construction in the forest.
I was trying to make it in to Mississippi today, but didn't make it. Getting close though.
Miles:
I drove a total of 307 miles today. That includes venturing off the trail to find dinner, and to and from where I sleep for the night. I spent a lot of miles on narrow paved country roads on the Trans America Trail today as well. So out of the 307 miles I traveled today, 112 of those miles were off pavement.
