Hydrate or DIEdrate | Ouachita Trail Thru Hike: Part 1 | Ft. Kyle Hates Hiking

Kyle and I thru-hiked the 223 mile Ouachita Trail, eastbound, during a drought. Starting at the western terminus in Oklahoma, we took 14 days to complete the hike, ending in the eastern terminus in Arkansas.

I haven't posted in awhile because I am now in the Air Force, training to become a Respiratory Therapist. The Air Force paid for my college, and since I didn't commission and became a hiking hippie instead, I had to pay them back in either time or money. So here we are, taking the enlisted route for the next four years!
I'll still upload occasionally, and Kyle and still enjoy working together. So if you're new, please consider subscribing!
