NOTE: The Nimblewill Nomad was off the trail, for a couple of weeks, conferring with his doctor and allowing his knees some much needed time to heal. (see journal entry Trail Day 19). He is now back on the trail, the below itinerary has been updated to reflect his current trail status, and the journal entries have begun again.
NOTE: The Nomad was off-trail due to a broken leg suffered while trekking the Sylamore Section of the Ozark Highlands Trail.
Last checkup Doc Tim said his broken leg was completely healed. So, Joyce has driven him back to Arkansas, to the Ozark Highlands National Recreation Trail, to Cripple Turkey Road in the Ozark National Forest, where his hike was interrupted nearly two months ago.
