Getting Outside / Adam Driver is Awesome

In an attempt to regain Hannah's esteem, and to carry out an idea I've had for a while, here's a list of some outdoor venues.   You can ask me for more info about these any time.

If you know of ones that I haven't listed, tell me!

I will update this as I remember more.

(Do me a favor, if you go hiking, bring a friend, and some water.  These trails are sometimes little-traveled, and cell service is often unavailable.)

Also, Adam Driver is the best and most handsome actor of his--nay, all--generations.  



Close By:

1.  Cadron Settlement Park.  Cool historical site.  Hiking trails with river views.  Picnic areas.   Like 10 minutes from campus, if that.    https://www.arkansas.com/conway/cadron-settlement-park

2.  Woolly Hollow.  Nearby to the east.  Hiking trails, a lake, cascades (when it has rained recently), camping, etc.    https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/woolly-hollow-state-park

3.  Cove Creek Natural Area.  Beautiful short hike.  Nearby to the north.  http://www.naturalheritage.com/natural-areas/cove-creek-natural-area

4.  Bell Slough.  I'm not crazy about the scenery, but it is an easy two mile walk in the woods.  Nearby to the south.  https://www.stateparks.com/bell_slough.html
