08/08/09 - XC Flight from Magazine Mountain to Oark, Arkansas -
On 08/08/09, the conditions looked favorable and it seemed like a good time to try to fly across the
Arkansas River valley and possibly make it across the Boston Mountains. (The Boston's are
part of the Ozarks, and present a barrier to anyone trying to fly north from Magazine). As it
turned out, the day wasn't that good, and I couldn't get high enough to attempt the crossing.
I landed in some of the last available fields after entering the mountains, near the small town
of Oark, Arkansas.
