hiking 5:14:30 [3] 12.0 mi (26:13 / mi)
Hot and humid. Steep, rugged climb at White Mtn. near Mulberry, Arkansas with Jesse. Shores Lake Spur Trail and a short portion of the Ozark Highlands Trail. Spectacular views of the surrounding Boston Mtns. from the cliffs at the top, Didn't bring enough water. Had to stop frequently to pick ticks off of our legs. Had a swim in very warm lake at the end of the hike. Discovered many chigger bites on my ankles later in the evening. No wonder they don't orienteer around here.
