Loop A: Breath-taking
Literally. Today was the maiden run on Loop A of the Trail. It was all I hoped it would be, plus much harder than I expected. Previously, I had been risking somewhat the rule about the forbidden zone by taking … Continue reading
Trail Is Functional
Welcome to Loop A. Okay, I still have to mow about 100 yards of tall grass to make it 100%, but as of this afternoon, I can now run a full 2-mile loop without going anywhere near the forbidden zone … Continue reading

Today I had the chance to work on the trail some more. After re-entering the largest wooded section, I moved almost straight east for a hundred yards or so to avoid a depression on my left (north side). I managed … Continue reading
Trail: Nearly a Mile
Oklahoma is mostly laid out in a square grid, with some tweaking to account for the curvature of the earth at this latitude. Each square is theoretically one mile on each side. Most of the state is criss-crossed by roads … Continue reading
