I did an Army Reserve active duty tour there.
I remember a canoe trip down the Big Piney River. Our guys flew a Huey for 10 miles, located a bridge for us to meet a duce and a half for the canoes and trip back to base..
Well, we paddled and paddled. Beautiful scenery, still water, fast water. All day we paddled. It was dark when we arrived at the bridge.
Ten miles by chopper turned out to be 26 miles by river.
Took a bit longer than expected, We were tired.

Dirtfarmer, the big piney is a smallmouth bass wet dream river. I use to deer hunt in the mid 80’s just outside of FLW near the pig piney wilderness area. There are some deep deep hollows in that area. For all of you on this thread that served our country, thank you for your time.
