Bankhead Bushwhacks (Late February/March)

[Joshua Szulecki]

Hey folks,

I know I've been a little quiet the past few months, but I've been absorbed into other activities and haven't had time for hiking. Normally I would have scheduled a few hikes in the fall, but this year didn't work out. Anyway... I'm looking to do a couple of bushwhacks before wildflower season kicks in, but when it is a tad warmer.

I'm thinking a series of two or three trips over the latter half of February and March. First, I want to do Eagle Creek/Little Ugly again this year, since my photos last time were lousy. After that it's open for discussion. I'm interested in Quillen, Hubbard, the lower reaches of Caney, and a few other areas, but I'd like to gauge interest.

I'll do this like we've done in the past, talk about it then put up a list when things get finalized. Speak up if you might be interested, comments and suggestions welcome.

Since we have some new people since the last time I suggested a hike, I should mention that when I put together a bushwhack it is usually for photography, so distance covered is rarely an objective and speeds are generally slow. That may be a plus or a minus for you.

I like the idea of bushwacking for photography. Get to hike and take pictures! Does it get any better? I don't think so.
