Gary at the Big Paddy Creek Scenic Overlook, Paddy Creek Wilderness — It was very windy up on the ridge, and the wind was quite chilly, which was nice as it was 82°F in the sun. This is another Ozarks view I never tire of. Backpacking the Big Piney Trail, February 2026. Copyright © 2026 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

It was very windy up on the ridge, and the wind was quite chilly, which was nice as it was 82°F in the sun.

This is another Ozarks view I never tire of.

There’s cell service here, and I checked the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Lows of 24°F overnight, then 34°F and windy tomorrow. That’s not what I planned for when I packed my 40°F top quilt. But I have a plan, and all should be good. I just need to get to ‘Paddy Creek Trolltunga‘, and that’s a few miles and several hundred feet of elevation gain away.
