The following is a picture of Mount Magazine (AR’s highest point) in the far distance, from Hare Mountain south of my home. Looking in the distance across the Arkansas River valley, just to the right of center you can see Mount Magazine on the horizon; in the Ouachita Mountians that run from southern Arkansas into southern Oklahoma and just beyond the Ouachita’s is northeastern Texas. Hare Mountain, where I took this picture, is an infamous location where the first black-bear to hiker attack took place in 1990. The hiker from Wichita, Kansas was seriously injured. he had been sleeping in a tent with his food supply when the bear attacked. He is fine today and still hikes.
