On January 23, 2021 we adventured out to David's Trail Endurance Run in Mountain Home, Arkansas. I ran the 50k, Mama ran the 25k, and Papa ran the 7k. It was a cold day, and the trail had gigantic hills. Looking up at the hills made you feel like David facing Goliath, but it was a great feeling to conquer them. There was a super friendly atmosphere, as there generally is at trail runs. There was a camp fire at the start/finish line, which took a little chill off the air.
On our way home the next day we stopped in Kearney, Missouri and visited Jesse James Birthplace at the James Family Farm. The history was fascinating, and we learned a lot from the museum and the friendly tour guide. It was definitely worth the stop! There was a large grassy area connected to the farm, and after asking permission, this is where I ran my mile for the day. I really enjoyed this trip, and will always look back on it with fond memories!
