The Boy Scout Trail at Petit Jean State Park is 12 miles long, so we only hiked a short portion of it. Big Bore was an Eagle Scout in another life, but his crickety body can no longer even earn a merit badge for proper saluting.The Boy Scout Trailhead is adjacent to Davies Bridge, built in 1934. A father-son duo named Davies were the architect and engineer taking all the glory, while the poor lugs with the Civilian Conservation Corps did all the heavy duty. They must have done a good job because the bridge still supports traffic after 75 years.
Some shorter paths were more to our liking, Rock Trail and Bear Trail. Park pamphlets state that bears no longer roam the area, but I could swear I saw one between these rocks (below) waving at me. By the way, I call these Butt Crack Rocks. Use your imagination.
We hope to return to PJ State Park some day to take in the rest of the sights that we didn't have the time or energy to see this time around. Until then, this is The Flaming Bore wishing all your trails are happy ones.
