    This adventure started down a crazy "highway," which was really a 15 mile dirt road. Eventually, we made it to camp deep in the Ouachita National Forest. This weekend, I had the pleasure of camping with my friends Mackenzie, and Kellie & Cody of Dome Life. We had an awesome time exploring the surrounding areas, discovering beautiful campsites, awesome views, and an incredible waterfall. Later that evening, Kellie cooked us a wonderful pasta dish and fresh baked cookies! The next day I did a short hike on the Ouachita Trail and enjoyed a beautiful view of the mountains. Overall, it was an amazing weekend and I hope you enjoy getting taken along with us!

    Great vid. It brings back memories of my first hike/campout when I was 9 years old. We left Shawnee Okla. and drove to Talihina, OK, and then to the Ouachita National Forest to set up camp and do some hiking. That was 62 years ago. I still camp and hike all over, but mostly in Colorado now where I live. It's been a lifetime of camping and hiking. Keep up the vids and stay safe and outdoors.

    This area is only about 3 to 4 hrs from north Dallas so it’s a frequent place considered for cramping here in north Texas too.

    Hey Kelly! Great vlog! Leann and I had the pleasure to join Kellie, Cody, and Jonathan with Cody's parents for the September clean up. We were the ones from Huntsville, Alabama that cooked the steak while Kellie cooked the salmon. We cannot hold a candle to Kellie's cooking but it was a lot of fun!!! WONDERFUL people! Keep up the great work and wish you joy and success :)
