I would love to take any Korean classes that might be in Omaha! I found a post here from a few years ago about a group that used to get together and practice, but it doesn't seem to be around anymore. Anyone know of any other opportunities?
Whatβs ur fire strain and where can I find it in Ponca City?
A friend and I are planning a 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip to the Ponca Wilderness. We are aiming to go the week of April 12th. We will be hiking (no floating). I have a fair amount of backpacking experience (southwest). I will have an eTrex.
Ostensibly we will be following this well recorded loop (https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/arkansas/ponca-wilderness-buffalo-national-river). I've read the earlier post on this subreddit with a similar question. However, I had a few questions so I'd really love some more buffalo river-experienced input!
-
Where should I enterβ Steel Creek, Compton, Centerpoint or Kyles Landing (assuming itβs open and accessible by then)? Most people seem to be starting at Steel Creek, but I donβt exactly know why.
-
We will have 3 days. Are the Centerpoint and Chimney Rock trails βworth itβ or do I bypass the Centerpoint TH, stay close to the river, and do a loop that goes past Kyles Landing further down river? Or perhaps I should think about going further west to Ponca? I think 3 days gives us time to spare on the loop above. We will be hitting the Hollows falls and Big Bluff.
-
Iβve read issues about overgrown trails, specifically Chimney Rock, and getting from Kyles landing to Horseshoe bend on the ORT. How concerned should I be?
-
In April, if there is heavy rain a few days before, should I just give up on using the ORT?
-
Wildlife: How bad are ticks/chiggers in April? I really, really hate chiggers. Is it overkill to carry bear spray? How sneaky are the poisonous snakes?
-
I heard there are lots of camping spots, but any prime locations I should try to hit either night?
Thank you for any and all thoughts!
