Meet at noon, March 31st, at David and Maria Smiths home in Fox AR.  There will be a short meeting during the potluck followed by a hike to a nearby area-possibly the Arlburg Natural Arch if permission can be obtained (there is a picture and description of this arch in Dr. Compton’s book “The High Ozarks”. A limited number of Ken Smith’s, “Buffalo River Handbook, 2nd edition”, updated and expanded, will be available for purchase at the meeting for $30 a copy. One of the copies will be given as a door prize at the meeting so plan on being there! For directions contact Dave or Maria at bearpenfarm@yahoo.com

Rated moderate approximately 4-mile hike downriver on the BRT from the Bridge to an access point on an old farm road. No limit.
