OHJ is one year old!
Ouachita Hiking Journal was started 1 year ago. In that year (2007) this site received roughly 12,000 visits from about 1,400 unique visitors. Most referrals came from the Friends of the Ouachita Trail (FOoT) website, which kindly provides a link to OHJ. The next most popular referral source was Google. I guess that's not bad for a little website about hiking in part of Arkansas. It is probably worth restating that the purpose of OHJ is simply to provide a resource for hikers interested in the Ouachita Mountains. The photos are intended to show what these various places look like in all seasons and under various conditions. The hike descriptions (both here and in the photo captions) are intended to provide a rough idea of what the trail or hiking area is like. As most hikers are always looking for new places to explore, OHJ provides a place to get ideas and suggestions. I hope at least a few people have found it interesting and use
New photos - OT mile 212.2 to 214.3 (quick winter day hike)
Just added a few photos from a quick winter day hike on the OT from Lundsford Corner. Nothing special... just a gray winter day. -jc
Photo Gallery upgraded and theme changed
It's been a busy last few months and new hikes have not been added for a while. I hope to find time soon to update with more hikes and photos.
In the mean time, the OHJ Photo Gallery software and theme have been updated to the latest versions. The "theme" I was previously using is no longer supported, so I switched to a new Zenphoto theme. The advantages of all this are a) subalbums, b) tags, c) search capability and d) viewers can now leave a comment under any photo. Search is implemented and the commenting feature is implemented. The tags feature (not quite yet implemented) will allow tagging of photos and easy search by tag cloud. The subalbum feature (also not yet enabled) will allow classification of hikes into categories like "Ouachita Trail" and make the Photo Gallery more easily accessible. Anyway, I have many stored hike maps and photos... just need time up upload. -jc
