Yesterday was a travel day from my first audit in Van Buren, AR to today’s audit in Memphis, TN. The route took me about 17 miles from the Arkansas State Highpoint – Mt. Magazine – Signal Hill at 2753′. I drove most of the way in the early dawn hours because there was a Winter Storm Warning out for my intended destination in TN and I wanted to try and avoid as much of the bad weather as possible. The western part of Arkansas had had snow the day before and it was funny to see more snow at the highpoint than at our house at 4800′ elevation! There was between 4″ – 5″ on the ground and I had to “break trail” in my tennis shoes … another case where I was ill prepared for a summit attempt! The trail was pretty easy to figure out as I was able to follow assorted critter tracks. Overall it was about a mile roundtrip to the car and I ran most of the way, again trying to get to the other side of the state before the storm hit.
