Trail was clear and dry. Deff wanna stick to the main route....just about everything that branches off of this one is private. Some clearly marked no trespassing and a few not marked at all. Very mellow and quite if your into that kinda stuff. Military Museum is pretty cool though.

Not much of an off-road trail. Looked like a county road running through the Pea Ridge historic area. Easy like Sunday morning.
