The Ozark Trail is a woderful place to go. 
I understand it is very long! How many states are involved, I wonder?
I belive it's ntended to reach from St. Louis to Arkansas. 
I guess it must be quite mountainous in parts. That would make for a challenging hike. 
Right! I would love to go there when I retire. It would require many rest points as it's quite long. 
It would be neat to do an annual hike- for example, next, you could do the Appalachian trail in the Eastern US> 
Never thought of that and that's a great idea! Have you been? 
I haven't been on the trail but I've driven in many of the areas that it runs through- gorgeous country.
