The Lets Read Podcast · 364: I'M NEVER HIKING ALONE AGAIN | 6 TERRIFYING True Scary Stories | EP 349 · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

I tried telling them to look at my notes because they might be able to pin a whole mess of conspiracy to murder charges on him.

But in the end, it was easier to go for the sure shot than the Hail Mary.

And my recovery took months.

The doctor said that because of my age, my clavicle was knitting back together much slower than it would for a younger man.

This meant that for a whole six weeks, I couldn't lift my left arm above shoulder height.

Now the nights were the worst because that's when the pain was the worst.

But it wasn't just the pain pills that brought relief.

It was the comfort of knowing what I'd stopped.

I know what Joe is planning, but I'll never truly know why he was fixing to do something so terrible.

I don't know if it was something that he read in that old book of his that made him want to do it, or if it was merely a symptom of a diseased mind.

I just know that if I had to take those two bullets, so that all those kids didn't, it seems like a fair enough trade to me.

Between 2011 and 2015, my old friend Jay and I used to do a lot of hiking and camping.

We lived out in Missouri, so we'd mostly head out to our local spots for just a few beers and some campfire food after our day's hike.

Now we had a very casual approach to this back in 2011, but by 2015, just one day's worth of relaxing hiking just wasn't enough for us anymore.

And that's how we got started camping together.

We spent a night in Three Creeks conservation area and then a few months later we hit up Pinnacles Youth Park, which was cool because it's only permitted for day use, so technically we were outlaws for a night.

Now after that we visited Eagle Bluffs and then spent a whole series of weekends and Mark Twain until it felt like a giant backyard to us.

And then after a total of almost twenty hiking and camping trips together, we decided to drive all the way down into Arkansas to visit the Ozark National Forest.

Now I feel like I should make it clear that almost the whole of Missouri and northern Arkansas is technically the Ozarks, but there's a major difference between the northern and central regions, which are mostly flat plains where me and Jay grew up, and the more mountainous areas to the further south.

These are all in either Arkansas or Oklahoma, and while you'd be right in saying that they're both part of the Ozarks, the terrain could not be more different in places.
