STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PAGES OF HISTORY BOOKS AND DOOLITTLE'S RAID ON TOKYO IN WORLD WAR II: THE ONLY MARINE B-25 GHOST PLANE, THANKS TO THE COMMEMORATIVE AIR FORCE.

16 MARINE MARINE B-25'S TOOK OFF FROM THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER ON APRIL 21, 1942 IN THE HISTORICAL JIMMY DOOLITTLE RAID.

>> ON THE WAY IN TO MAKE THE ATTACK AND HAVE THE B 25 TAKE OFF THEY WERE SPOTTED BY JAPANESE FISHING BOATS AND REPORTED AS JAPANESE NAVY SO THEY, THE AIRPLANES WERE LAUNCHED BY 200 MILES BEFORE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TO DO THAT.

AND THERE WAS A FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL STORM GOING ON SO WITH THE WIND COMING IN AND OUT OF THE OCEAN IT WAS 35, 40 KNOTS WHICH IS 50 MILES PER HOUR AND THE AIRCRAFT TURNED INTO THE WIND AND IT WAS ONLY 30 KNOTS OVER THE WATER AS WELL, 65, 70 MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS GOING OVER THE DECK AND WITHOUT THAT STORM AND WHEN COMING OVER THE DECK, THOSE AIRPLANES MAY NOT HAVE GOTTEN OFF WITH THEIR HEAVY BOMBERS AND FUELS.

THEY TOOK THAT EXTRA FUEL TO GO THAT EXTRA 200 MILES AND WENT ALL THE AIRCRAFT DROPPED BOMBS AND THEY WENT ON TOCHINA , BECAUSE THEY LEFT EARLY THEY WERE SHORT FUEL AND ALL 16 B 25'S WERE LOST AS A RESULT OF THEIR EARLY DEPARTURE.

NONE OF THEM WERE SHOT DOWN OVER JAPAN BUT ALL OF THEM CRASHED OR CRASH LANDED OR THE CREWS BAILED OUT OVER CHINA.

AND EIGHT OF THE CREW MEMBERS WERE CAPTURED BY THE JAPANESE, THREE OF THEM BEHEADED.

ONE OF THE AIRPLANES HAD A BAD MOD IN THE AIR FORCE BASE AND DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FUEL TO MAKE CHINA SO THEY WENT TO RUSSIA WHERETHEY WERE INTERRED IN THE WAR.

>> RESTORATION OF THIS MARINE B-25 TOOK 23 YEARS .

>> IT'S MINE BIBLE BOTTLING TO LOOK BACK AT IT AND REALIZE HOW MUCH TIME WE SPENT ON IT.

USUALLY IT WAS A THREE-DAY WEEK VOLUNTEER OPERATION, TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

SOMETIMES IT WAS MORE AND MANY OF US HAD JOBS AND COULDN'T MAKE IT CERTAIN DAYS BUT WE PUT IN OUR TIME AND THE TEAM DID A PHENOMENAL JOB OF GETTING THIS AIRCRAFT FLYING AGAIN.

IT'S A WONDERFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY.

[MUSIC] >> BUT JUST HOW DO YOU GET A WORLD WAR II ERA AIRCRAFT IN FLYING CONDITION?

>> IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF RESEARCH.

ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO DO IT RIGHT KNOWS THERE'S ALL SORTS OF DOCUMENTATION FOR EACH ONE OF THESE AIRCRAFT.

BLUEPRINTS, MANUALS, YOU NAME IT.

THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE AND FORTUNATELY THERE ARE PEOPLE WE CAN TALK TO THAT HAVE BACKGROUND WITH THE AIRCRAFT THAT WILL TEACH US LITTLE THINGS THE BOOKS CAN'T TELL US.

AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE GUYS IN LOS ANGELES WHOSE PROFESSION IS RESTORING AIRCRAFT, ESPECIALLY BE 25.

THEY HELPED US OUT QUITE A BIT.

>> AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, FLYING AN AIRCRAFT LIKE THIS IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

>> THE AIRPLANE THAT FLIES, BUT I ALSO FLY FOR A MAJOR AIRLINE AS CAPTAIN AND I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR 32 YEARS.

THIS IS A, IT'S LIKE REALLY LEARNING TO FLY AGAIN TO SOME DEGREE BECAUSE WE ARE GOING BACK IN TIME SEVERAL YEARS AND TODAY, EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATED.

ON THAT AIRPLANE, NOTHING IS AUTOMATED.

[MUSIC] >> MY DADDY FLEW IN WORLD WAR II IN ITALY AND NORTH AFRICA AND HE WAS A BOMBARDIER ON THE PLANE AND I'D NEVER SEEN ONE AND I WANTED TO COME OUT AND SEE IT.

[MUSIC] >> I WAS IN THE RED VEIL FLIGHT AND WE FLEW EVERY DAY.

AND OUR FLIGHT TREE WOULD TELL YOU UPFRONT, HE SAID THAT'S THE REASON THERE ARE WINGS OUT THERE THAT MADE YOU FLY.

AND SO HE SAID, WE'RE GOING TO FLY.

IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO WORK, KEEP THEM IN THE AIR.

WE'RE GOING TO SHIP YOU OUT BUT ANYWAY, IT WAS GOOD DUTY.

AWFULLY HARD TO KEEP THEM RUNNING BUT A GOOD AIRPLANE.

[MUSIC] >>.

[MUSIC] WELCOME TO RATTLESNAKE HOLLOW NORTH OF MULBERRY, SOMEWHERE IN THE OZARK NATIONAL FOREST NEAR WHITE ROCK MOUNTAIN AND HERE WE HAVE RATTLESNAKE HOLLOW CREEK.

THIS IS JUST FOR STARTERS.

DOWN THERE IS RATTLESNAKE HOLLOW FALLS.

GETTING TO RATTLESNAKE FALLS INVOLVES QUITE A BIT OF A DRIVE THROUGH THE OZARK NATIONAL FOREST, THREE MILES PAST FURNACE, TURN LEFT AT COUNTY ROAD 75.

IT'S PAID FOR A WHILE AS YOU PASS BY SHORES LAKE ON THE RIGHT.

AFTER THE PAYMENT ENDS, CONTINUE ANOTHER FOUR MILES TO WHITE ROCK MOUNTAIN ROAD AND TURN RIGHT.

GO 2.2 MILES, THEN TURN LEFT ONTO HURRICANE CREEK ROAD.

GO ANOTHER 4.7 MILES AND PARK BY EDGY ROAD TO THE LEFT.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING DOWN THAT ROCKY RAVINE ROAD UNLESS YOU HAVE A TANK AND I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.

I ABOUT A HALF-MILE DOWN THAT GREATER ROAD UNTIL YOU COME TO A CLEARING ON THE RIGHT.

FROM THERE, PUSH WEST RATE DOWN THROUGH THE WOODS.

>> FROM THE JEEP ROAD IT'S ONLY ABOUT AN EIGHTH OF A MILE OR SO BUSHWHACKED THROUGH THE WOODS WHICH WILL ACTUALLY TAKE YOU OVER HERE TO THE TOP OF RATTLESNAKE FALLS.

TO GET DOWN TO THE BOTTOM, YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK YOUR WAY DOWN THE BLOCK LINE AND FIND A BREAK WHICH WILL TAKE YOU TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FALLS EVENTUALLY.

THANKS TO A GOODHEARTED SOUL, THE TRAIN IS GOING DOWN TO THE BASE OF THE FALLS AND LAYS IN BLUE AND IT WILL TAKE YOU DOWN TO THE CREEK AND ALL YOU DO IS KIND OF LIKE BACK UPSTREAM TO THE BASE OF THE FALLS.

>>.

[MUSIC] ONCE YOU DO FINALLY GET DOWN TO THE BASE OF RATTLESNAKE FALLS, YOU HAVE THIS WAITING FOR YOU.

SOMEONE TOOK THE LIBERTY TO MAKE SHIFT A COUPLE STONE BENCHES FOR YOUR SITTING AND VIEWING PLEASURE.

INTERESTING FOOTNOTE REGARDING RATTLESNAKE FALLS.

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE SOMEONE GOING OVER THESE FALLS IN A KAYAK?

CRAZY, HOT?

I NAME BY THE NAME OF BILL "FISH" HERRING DID THAT IN 2000 AND NO, DO NOT TRY IT YOURSELF.

BY THE WAY, DON'T LET THE NAME RATTLESNAKE FALLS WHERE YOU ARE.

WE DID NOT SEE ANY AT ALL BUT BEING THAT THIS PART OF THE OZARKS IS BEAR COUNTRY, WE DID GET A GLIMPSE OF A BIG OLD ARKANSAS BLACK BEAR AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE MAIN DIRT ROAD.

RATTLESNAKE FALLS, WELL WORTH THE EFFORT.

[MUSIC] MAINTAINING ITS 1920S ERA CHARM, THE SMALL TOWN OF LESLIE IN THE OZARKS OFFERS AND ARTS CENTER AND MUSEUM, COMMUNITY THEATER, RESTAURANTS, ANTIQUE SHOPS AND AN OLD WORLD STYLE BRICK OVEN BAKERY.AND BEFORE THAT, THIS WAS THE LARGEST BARREL PRODUCER IN THE WORLD.

[MUSIC] THE WILLIAMS COOPERAGE COMPANY IN 1910 WAS INDEED THE LARGEST BARREL MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD, PRODUCING UP TO 5000 BARRELS A DAY.

THE COMPANY HAD ACCESS TO 110 THOUSAND ACRES OF SOME OF THE FINEST HARDWOOD TIMBER IN THE COUNTRY.

A DINKY TRAIN WAS USED THE HALL THE TIMBER TO THE PLANT.

JOBS WERE PLENTIFUL, WITH THE COMPANY EMPLOYING HIM 1200 MEN.

RECENTLY THE ENTIRE DOWNTOWN AREA OF LESLIE WAS DESIGNATED AS ACOMMERCIAL HISTORIC DISTRICT .

>> THAT HELPS US OUT IN A LOT OF WAYS, ESPECIALLY BRINGING MORE CUSTOMERS OFF OF HIGHWAY 65.

SUCH A BUSY ROUTE TO MISSOURI AND THE BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER AND WE REALLY WANT THEM TO COME OVER HERE AND SEE WHAT I THINK IS A THROWBACK TOWN.

A LITTLE SLICE OF AMERICANA THAT IS LOST AND IN A LOT OF AMERICA AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME TO LESLIE AND VISIT WITH THE VERY FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR GOOD RESTAURANTS, OUR SHOPS, THE ANTIQUES ARE WONDERFUL AND WHO CAN BEAT SERENITY FARM BREAD?

>> WE HAVE FOCACCIA BREAD.

>> SERENITY FARM BREAD IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND ESTABLISHMENT IN THESE PARTS.

HERE, BREAD IS BAKED THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY IN A WOODFIRED BRICK OVEN WHICH HAS BEEN A WELL PROVEN METHOD FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

>> PROBABLY AT LEAST 6000 YEARS, 4000 BC.

EGYPT, THE BEGINNING OF FIRST THE OVEN AND PROBABLY THE ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY OF SOURDOUGH BREAD.

WHOLE-WHEAT, SOURDOUGH DATES BACK ABOUT 4000 BC.

THE STAFF OF LIFE.

[MUSIC] >> IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE AS THE BANNERS POINT OUT THAT LESLIE REALLY IS ONE OF ARKANSAS'S THAT KEPT SECRETS.

THERE IS THE OZARK HERITAGE ARTS CENTER AND MUSEUM WITH A 400 SEAT THEATER.

IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED AS A COMMUNITY HALL IN 1938 BY THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION OR WPA.

LATER IT WAS USED AS A GENERATION IV LESLIE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

IN 1992 WAS REMODELED INTO THE PRESENT FACILITY WITH AN ADDED MUSEUM.

PERFORMANCES ARE HELD INTHE THEATER EVERY SECOND SATURDAY OF THE MONTH .

WESLEY EVEN HAS ITS OWN RADIO STATION , KCGS-960 ON YOUR A.M.

DIAL.

BUT THE OTHER STORY ABOUT LESLIE IS ITS MAYOR, TALITHA HARDIN.

>> BORN AND RAISED HERE AND FOR THE MOST PART, NO EVERYONE HERE.

IF THERE'S SOMEONE NEW THAT I DON'T RECOGNIZE PER SE IS USUALLY A SECOND OR THIRD GENERATION OF A FAMILY THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH OR WITH AND THAT'S THE GOOD THING.

I'VE LIVED IN CONWAY FOR 11 YEARS, HAD MY TWO CHILDREN AND THOUGHT YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GO BACK.

SO I CAME BACK IN TIME TO A PLACE THAT WAS GOOD.

AND I LOVE IT AND IT'S JUST LIKE I SAID, WE ARE VERY TIGHTKNIT.

AND WE PROMOTE EACH OTHER AND HELP EACH OTHER AND YET, GRANTED SOMETIMES A MODERN-DAY TRAFFIC WILL CAUSE SOME AWESOME STORIES TO TELL AND SHARE BUT IT'S REALLY GOOD LITTLE DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL HERE THAT YOU WERE A MAYOR.

>> I HAD NO CLUE.

IN 1982 MY GRANDFATHER WAS MAYOR AND OF COURSE I WOULD GO TO CITY HALL AND SIT AND LISTEN TO HIM AND TALK AND HEAR THEIR STORIES.

IN CIVICS CLASS, MY HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER ALWAYS WHEN IT CAME TO THE SECTION TO GET LOCAL LAW AND STUFF, HE ALWAYS MADE ME GO AND GET THE BOOKS.

AND IT WAS JUST REALLY STRANGE TO READ BACK IN TIME SOME OF THE LAWS THAT ARE ACTUALLY STILL ON THE RECORD RIGHT NOW.

THEY'VE NOT BEEN REMOVED OR UPDATED AND THEY STILL ARE ALONG THE LINES OF WRITING DOWN MAIN STREET AND THINGS LIKE THIS, IT'S REAL INTERESTING BUT NO, WHEN I WAS A YOUNGER CHILD RIDING BICYCLES, IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME.

THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHAT I'VE DONE NOW.

BUT NO REGRETS AREA.

>> IF YOU DO COME TO LESLIE, YOU'VE GOT TO STOP AT THE COVE CREEK EMPLOYER AND LET YOU LET THEM FIX YOU UP.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> GOOD WAY TO TOP OFF OUR VISIT.

>> VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.

EXCELLENT.

[MUSIC] >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE GAVE YOU $4000 FOR GRILLING THE BEST STEAK AROUND?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE GRAND PRIZE HERE AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP STATE COOKOFF IN MAGNOLIA.

HERE, THEY LIKE IT HOT.

>> ANYWHERE FROM 675 TO 700.

>> FOR THAT STATE SIZZLE.

>> I WISH THIS WAS'S MELLOW VISION SO YOU CAN EXPERIENCE ALL THIS TO THE UTMOST.

THE AROMA OF 3000+ STEAK GRILLING.

>> THE CHOICE CUT OF STEAK HERE IS RIBEYE.

>> Y RIBEYE, WHY NOT T-BONE OR SIRLOIN OR A MIXTURE?

>> RIBEYE , 28 YEARS AGO WITH OA BUDDY FRANKS WHO STARTED THIS FESTIVAL AND HE THINKS THE RIBEYE IS THE BEST PIECE OF MEAT.

I TEND TO AGREE.

>> ME TOO.

WHAT'S THEJUDGING CRITERIA?

>> WHAT THE JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR TODAY IS FIVE CATEGORIES .

APPEARANCE, DONENESS, TENDERNESS, TASTE AND THAT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WE'RE LOOKING FOR ALL OF OUR STEAK TO BE COOKED MEDIUM WHICH IS A NICE WARM PINK CENTER.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO BE DELICIOUS.>> WE HAVE 83 COOKERS HERE TODAY FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT STATES ALLOVER THE UNITED STATES .

COOKING OVER 3000 RIBEYES.

I PROMISE YOU WILL FIND ONE YOU LIKE TODAY.

>> AND THAT WE DID AND AFTER WATCHING ME SAMPLING SOME STEAK, VIDEOGRAPHER JIMMY BULLOCK HAD TO GET IN ON THE ACTION.

AND HE COULDN'T STOP.

>> I CAN'T HELP IT.

[LAUGHTER] >> WITH A CONTESTANT, IT'S MOSTLY A FAMILY AFFAIR.

[MUSIC] >> DAD USED THE WORK DOWN HERE AND SOME OF THE GUYS HE WORKED WITH TALKED HIM INTO COMING OUT IN COOKING.

THE FIRST COUPLE YEARS IT WAS ME AND MY DAD AND WE TURNED IT INTO A FATHER'S DAY DEAL WHERE ALL THE FAMILY GETS TOGETHER AND COMES DOWN.

HE'S NEVER WON BUT IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD FAT FAMILY-FRIENDLY FUN TIME.

>> SOMEONE FROM MY FAMILY IS COOKED IN EVERY YEAR.

MY BROTHER IS HERE COOKING WITH ME, HIS NAME IS JOHNNY GEORGIA AND MY SON JOHNNY GEORGE HE'S THE HEAD COOK.

WE DO IT AS A FAMILY THING.WE COME UP HERE AND SERVE APPETIZERS FOR THE PUBLIC AND WE JUST ENJOY DOING IT.

IT'S A GREAT FESTIVAL.

>> SO 2001 WE WON THE BEST COOK SO WE TOOK THE MONEY HOME.

OUR DAD THOUGHT HE NEEDED IT SO WE DID END UP GIVING IT TO HIM BUT WE'VE BEEN COOKING EVER SINCE THE FESTIVAL STARTED.

ON THE FIRE CHIEF HERE AND WE USE TO FEEL THE TEAM BACK THEN SO WE FINALLY CREATED OUR OWN TEAM.

WITH OUR DAD, WE HAD A PLUMBING BUSINESS ALL OUR LIFE SO YOU SEE OUR GRILL, IT'S MADE INTO A TRAIN BUT EVERYTHING HERE IS METAL.

IT'S A TANK AND AN OLD WATER HEATER AND THE WINDOWS ARE OLD FURNACES THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HOUSE SO EVERYTHING HERE IS SCRAP METAL.

HE NEVER THREW ANYTHING AWAY.

I SHOULDN'T TELL HIM THIS BUT NEVER THREW ANYTHING AWAY SO NOW YOU SEE WHY.

>> WHAT MAKES A GREAT STEAK?

>> THE FIRST THING YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE IS A GOOD PIECE OF MEAT.

THE MEAT IS NOT QUALITY, THEN THE STEAK NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO IT IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD.

IT'S ALL IN HOW YOU RUB IT.

YOU CAN RUB IT CLOCKWISE OR COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

THERE ARE LIMITS TO IT.

YOU ALWAYS GRILL A GOOD STEAK.

>> YOU DON'T NEED A WHOLE LOT OF SEASONING BUT YOU GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SEASONING TO GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA FLAVOR.

>> THE GOOD STEAK IS GOING TO HAVE GOOD GRILL MARKS.

THERE'S GOING TO BE MEDIUM COOKED AND THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SEASONING, YOU DON'T WANT TO OVERPOWERING IT WITH SEASONING.

YOU WANT TO TAKE THE MEAT.

>> IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE A STEAK YOU NEED TO DO THAT.

IT NEEDS TO BE TENDER AND OF COURSE IT HAS TO TASTE GOOD SO THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A GOOD STEAK.

>> IF YOU ARE A STEAK LOVER, ATTENDING THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP STEAK COOKOFF IN MAGNOLIA IN MAY IS A MUST ASK I GREW UP IN NORTH LOUISIANA, HEARD ABOUT THIS THING FOREVER.

NEVER DID COME UP HERE, COMING BACK ON THE WAY TO AND IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST VISIT.

THIS PLACE IS WONDERFUL, THE FOOD IS OUTSTANDING.

[MUSIC] >> JUST A FEW MILES NORTH OF MELTING HOME IS THE PIGEON CREEK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL SYSTEM COMPRISING 20 MILES OF TRAILS FOR HIKING AND MOUNTAIN BIKING AND THE BEST PART IS YOU GET SOME PRETTY NICE VIEWS OF NORFORK LIFE.

>> THE PIGEON CREEK NATIONAL RECREATION TRAIL IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE PREMIER TRAIL SYSTEMS IN THE OZARKS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKING AND HIKING.

THE TRAIL OFFSHOOTS HAVE THEIR NAMES.

YEAH DATA DO FOR THIS ONE AND BIG JIM GOING UP THAT WAY.

YEAH THE DATA DO MAYBE MORE THAN WHAT I CAN HANDLE SO I'M GOING TO GO THE BIG JIM AWAY.

>>.

>> JAMES "BIG JIM" HOLSTED WAS PRESIDENT OF THE TWIN LAKE BICYCLE CLUB IN MOUNTAIN HOME WHICH DEVELOPED AND MAINTAINED THIS TRAIL SYSTEM.

A FORMER STATE SENATOR, BIG JIM PASSED AWAY IN 2013.

THESE CAIRNS OR MOUNDS OF STONE SERVE AS A MEMORIAL.

THE PIGEON CREEK TRAIL SYSTEM OF COURSE VARIES IN LENGTH AND DIFFICULTY SO AS TO ENSURE A REWARDING AND CHALLENGING EXPERIENCE FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS AND HIKERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS.

IF YOU COME OUT HERE IN THE SPRING, YOU HAVE THE COOLER TEMPERATURES TO ENJOY AND A BROAD EXPANSE OF DOGWOOD TREES THAT ARE IN FULL BLOOM.

ACTUALLY, FROM EARLY APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER, SEVERAL SPECIES OF WILDFLOWERS BLOOM ALONG THE TRAILS AND IF YOU'RE OUT HERE IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER, NORFORK LAKE IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A REFRESHING GET AFTER A STRENUOUS RIDE OR HIKE OR GO FISHING, FOR THAT MATTER.

>> TONY, WHAT IN PARTICULAR DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THIS TRAIL, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT IT?

>> ONE THING IS IT'S RIGHT IN TOWN, IT'S VERY CONVENIENT AND YOU RUN OVER HERE IN 10 MINUTES AND BE ON THE TRAIL, SPEND A COUPLE OF HOURS AND GET EXERCISE AND ADVENTURE IN.

BE HOME IN TIME TOKEEP EVERYBODY HAPPY.

>> THE WAY THE TRAIL IS MADE OF COURSE , YOU REALLY LIKE THAT.

>> I LIKE IT.

IT'S A NATURALISTIC TRAIL, HAND DOG.

A LOT OF NATURAL BEACHES, ROCKS AND THINGS LEFT IN THETRAIL.

IT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE AND THINK A LITTLE MORE WHEN YOU'RE WRITING AS OPPOSED TO JUST GOING FAST WHICH IS A LOT OF FUN .

THIS TRAIL IS NEAR TOWN AND SOMETHING THAT IS MORE COMMON RECENTLY IS A LOT OF TRAIL SYSTEMS BUILT YOUR TOWN ARE BUILT BY MACHINE AND THEIR WIDER AND SMOOTHER AND SAFER BUT NOT AS INTERESTING.

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THIS ONE IS TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING.

>> IT HAS PERSONALITY.

>> IT DEFINITELY HAS PERSONALITY.

I'M GRATEFUL THAT THINGS LIKE THIS ARE AROUND.

IT MAKES MY LIFE THAT MUCH MORE FULFILLING.

>> GET OUT AND MAKE YOUR LIFE THAT MUCH MORE FULFILLING AS WELL.
