    Well, cross prison reform off the list. We got the best minds on it. Shouldn’t be long before this is solved.

    This is the worst timeline. 

    I cannot believe this is real.

    Did you not try to do some dispersed camping in the Ozark National Forest nearby? Of course they dknt have the resources to enforce all that. If they had those kinds of resources they probably would have camp sites with full amenities.

    After trying every regular site and getting shut down, we were just fucking done.  We drove around in those mountains for 4 straight hours.  We also avoided some huge storms that came through later in the day.  Tried Eureka Springs, but they were sold out of every room too.

  3. So the Buffalo National River trip did not go as planned.  Apparently the "1pm check in" time for first come, first serve sites is not at all enforced so every single site on the whole got damn river was taken.  Ended up day hiking out of Fayetteville, which actually wasn't that bad.  Got to do a couple of miles on the Ozark Highlands Trail too.  Dogs got full of ticks though.  Spent two days cleaning them off them.

    It’s also bullshit.  These douchebags that rob us blind were elected by us and not all of them are corrupt.  Obama was no grifter, neither was McCain.  

    Don't get me wrong.  I fully understand we are at fault.  And we can also fix it.  It's just going to take a shitload of good will to fix it.  And I don't know if that good will is left.

    Yeah, there are few enough good places to camp in Texas that it makes sense to be lear ut of first come first served sites. Not as much of a problem elsewhere, especially when you can always just boondock it on national forest or BLM land.

    Are National Forests just kind of a free for all?

    Hey Biff - didn't see it mentioned before but if you don't mind primitive camping, Hill Country State Natural Area out near Bandera is pretty cool.

    Yeah, I've had that on the list, but the idea of first-come, first-serve sites freaks me the fuck out.  Incidentally, I'm driving up to the Buffalo National River tonight/tomorrow in hopes of getting a first-come, first-serve spot.  I am by nature extremely detailed and plan everything way in advance, so this is way out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying to be open.  PCT is on tap for 2020 so I have to learn to roll with the punches better.
