This mini-adventure is guided by Nichole, mom to two incredible adventurers, an older boy and a younger girl, on their seventh year of homeschooling. She has been married to her best friend for fifteen years and they share a mutual love for the outdoors. An Iowan native now living in the south, she is happy to claim Arkansas as home. She is a wanderlust (and coffee) fueled, fearless, road tripper who has been known to take off for epic adventures at a moments notice. Hiking and camping (of the backpacking variety) and crystal digging are a few of their favorite family activities. You can find her in the woods somewhere, probably up a creek, and jumping off waterfalls.

The Old Guys Bike Group, ranging in age from 71 to 84, regularly gather to ride paved trails. This route is around 11.5 miles one way, but there are many access points where you can start a ride, walk or run as long or short as you like. With the exception of one stop at Old Main, this entire route is paved and off-street. The entire route is lighted and may be ridden at night. Most street crossings are by bridge or underpass - the rare street crossings are well-marked and signaled.
