NEXT HIKE: OHT Maintenance Trip 6/22/13 See Scheduled Hikes


	On my way back from Ladderbucket Falls on 6/10/13, I noticed a lot of bear tracks. A short time later I walked upon a momma bear and her cub. The cub scurried up the closest tree while momma ran a short distance and stopped to watch. The cub climbed to the very top....I mean the very top! I could see momma's ears sticking up in the high brush. I saw momma watching me while I took a few pictures and knew this could go on all day. I decided to leave the two, hoping the cub would soon come down to reunite with it's mom. A nice treat while waterfall hunting!

ABOUT TAKAHIK

TAKAHIK (Pronounced "take-a-hike")

See Organization Video: Length: 1:44 min

   Danny and Brenda Hale and their friends, Steve and Becky Hern, had been tossing around the idea about starting a local hiking club for several years. They were finally convinced to do so, during a slide-show presented by Tim Ernst and William McNamara, a nature photographer/hiking enthusiast and a nature painter respectively, when a sign-up sheet was signed by over 50 people expressing an interest in such a club.

    Being encouraged by the response, an organizational meeting was held on January 26, 1999 in Russellville. A large crowd attended and after discussing some of the goals, projects and benefits of a club, TAKAHIK River Valley Hikers, was official organized.

   Meetings are held each month which include various programs on clothing, equipment, hiking trails, literature and books available, trail maintenance, future and on going projects, videos, trip planning (in and out-of-state) and scheduled hikes for the upcoming month.

    Meetings and memberships are open to anyone interested in enjoying a part of Arkansas that most never get to enjoy. Great for families, friends and even your pets.
