I never know how fond I'd become of Arkansas. I never knew how much working outside would satisfy me. I never knew the amount of confidence I could gain by learning the value of well-done, quality trail work. I never knew how much alone time I would crave. I never knew how to place a water bar correctly. I never knew the physical demands my body would began to desire. I never knew the amazing spirit that can reside in a couple of Arkansas park employees. I never knew how close I could feel to a mentor. I never knew how challenging true open communication could be. I never knew to what extent a few directional ideas would place in my hands. I never knew how much I'd miss a place I didn't even know existed a month and a half ago.
