Snake, Do you think you would be able to make it out at all for any of the days?

For sure after work on Sat night through Sunday and maybe monday too. I can't pass up the OT on Fri and Sat. though, I have a habit to feed! Been a while since I've got a chance to see ya'.

It looks like it is raining in Arkansas as I write this.  Hopefully it'll move out in a day or two.

Right now I am thinking it would be nice to take another day or so and ride up into Missouri for a few.  Depending on how I feel when we get to Harrison, I may peel off & head North.  It seems a shame to be so close to MO and not take a look see.  My window of opportunity for having fun is rapidly diminishing so I need to make the most of every outting.  It may be a while before I get back to AR & MO.

This is exciting - can hardly wait until tomorrow.

We made it to Boosier and to the Horseshoe Casino for a good meal and a little fun at the slots.





The 469 mi ride was hot until we passed thru Nacodoches then cooled to in the 60's.  nice night time ridin' for sure.  it's late and i'm tired.  Dave wants to get up by 7 in the morning.  hahahaha

Guess Al Gore didn't invent the internet up in Arkansas like he did everywhere else!
Last I talked to them this afternoon, the tireless trio were in Branson with Nickyd, soon to light for the night in Eureka Springs, at the motorcycle motel, or some such..
They are having a great time, and Kebs is logging incredible MPG on her Hog. HHHmmmm, maybe because hogs are at home in Arkansas? Yes?

[txgaboy]

    How do you know when you're staying in an Arkansas hotel? When you
call the front desk and say, "I got a leak in my sink," and the clerk
replies, "Go ahead."
 I saw the Motorcycle motel there in Eureka Springs a few months, neat lookin' place.

Me , HoBo, And Dusty are going over Thanksgiving weekend. Leaving Thursday morn and back the following Sunday. It's goina be cool in both terms of the word. Not lookin for making all the miles we can ride, but for the smiles per miles style trip.

[snake]

I gotta know... did you three soggy rascals make it home?

[Quick-Silver]

I just got off the phone with Dave.  He and Kebs were home by 7:30 and I pulled in at 9:20.  We left Mena, Ark at 8:00 this morning.  The Honda miles for the total trip from Canyon Lake was 1897.2.

I had a wonderful welcome waiting for me tonight.  There was a full moon and clear skies with calm winds making for a great night time Hill Country ride for about the last 60 miles.  This was especially welcome because for most of the day the ride was under water so to speak.   It was good to be back home.

I want to thank Dave for putting this ride together; Nick for taking time out from his responsibilities to lead us up to Eureka Springs and making all the arrangements for our rooms at the Iron Horse; John for having rooms for us in Mena last night when we arrived and burning a day off from work today to take us across the Queen Wilamena State Park; and of course Kebs for that million dollar smile.

Folks it was fun and I can't wait to do this again.

I have pics and will try to get them posted in a day or so.
