There was a time in the lives of many 80s kids in Arkansas where you weren’t anybody if you didn’t have a Trapper Keeper. There are also many Arkansans out there from the 60s and 70s and earlier who cringe or smile (according to memory) at the term “ditto sheets” or the name “Pee-Chee”.

The mountain is home to hiking trails, a close-knit mountain community, striking homes, sweeping views – and perhaps the coolest drive on all of Oahu.
