The one by the trailhead was the only one that was set up for 2+ groups as far as I could tell.
Bummer on being on call.

Thanks for the note on camping near Buckhorn. Need to scout/ride the area so I can better plan camp locations to bring the wife for a weekend.

I created another event that SHOULD be open to the public. An informational page (not on facebook) is in the works and I'll post here when it comes up.

Just spent the weekend at in the Ozark National Forest near the Mulberry River. Played around at Byrd's Offroad Park on Friday. Fun place with some pretty hairy runs at times!

Did see three overland built rigs in the area near where I camped. All outfitted with snorkels and various gear. One JK and two Toyotas of some sort. Not sure where they were headed but it looked fun!

Looks like a ferret is trying to get into your tent

How were the critters? My kids are too irresponsible to camp in the spring. They don't understand the importance of securing gear.

Haha that's my little bud Jax. A dapple Dachshund. That little guy had a great time hiking a section of the Ozark Highland Trails on Saturday. Great weather!

I tow a 5x8 cargo trailer when I camp so I can bring as much gear as I please and just unhook and go play in the Jeep. So we just lock all food supplies in the trailer overnight to prevent any late night critters hunting for some eats!
