April 30

Ruth and Carol took us out to the starting point this morning. It was misting rain and a bit chilly. We are on Highway 70 and 71S and after a bit Highway 70 turns to the north while Highway 71S continues straight.

 

We know we are in Arkansas. hills and pine trees. This must be the 'pine tree coridor' as we have nothing but pine trees on both sides of the highway.

 

But after about 6 miles we entered what I will call the Woolsey Creek and Saline River valley. Lush pastureland and flat walking. (Note: this is not the Saline River that flows south of Benton.) Nothing really different or exciting happened today. We did manage to walk 13 miles and we found a nickel. Stay tuned ....
