Wolf Pen Gap ~ Mena, Arkansas
















Spring Break 2009!










Saturday March 14 ~ We left after Jason got off work and headed to Mena, Arkansas for some Mountain 4-wheelin' and good ole campin! We rented a primitive cabin this trip since we dont have a tent or a camper and it was great! Cutest little cabin... it had a full size matttress and a twin mattress downstairs and a twin in a loft (if u can call it that). We had to take our own bed linens and towels for the shower house there at the campground. We arrived at almost dark so we made the bed and hung out at the picnic table and observed the folks who had rode all day Sat and were "chillin" by the fire! The neighbors were hilarious entertainment! Drunken dancing is Funny Stuff when its not you! We hit the sack early so we could ride ALL day Sunday!





Sunday March 15 ~ We packed our cooler with a picnic lunch (no alcohol on the national forest trails) and headed out about 10 am. We purchased firewood before we left so we cud have ourselves a relaxing evening by the fire when we returned after a long day of riding! The scenery was beutiful. Although, it misted rain on us the first half of the day. We rode to the top of High Point and saw the old mine, etc. We ventured on the "for skilled riders only - steep incline" trails also. You know Jason wouldnt have it any other way!! We rode ALL day. Got back to camp about 6pm. Lit up the grill...... grilled burgers and Portobella mushrooms! mmm mmm good! Had us some toddy ~ but no dancing (we didnt want to entertain OUR neighbors! LOL).





Monday March 16 ~ We had planned to head on out this morning. But , it was a gorgeous sunny day and we didnt hit quite all the trails yesterday. We climbed Hawks Meadow Pass and saw the two foot oak! Today was great! Great weather and some really neat trails. We will be back. Maybe next time with a few friends. We stayed and Wolf Pen ATV Campground and they were great people! Loved it! Our first camping trip together was AWESOME!
