Arkansas Road Trip

The weather is finally looking decent after two months of crap so I'm taking off starting Wednesday for some much needed road time. Wednesday night in Mena, Thursday in Jasper and Friday in Eureka Springs. Should be home Saturday night to watch a little football.

Nice area to ride in. I've done Oklahoma City to Fayetteville and Eureka Springs for the past 2 years (Bikes, Blues, and BBQ). I love riding the Pig Trail...it's beautiful country.

Sounds great. Early November last year I told my wife to get her things together cause we're headed for Arkansas. Two hours later we were on the road.

Cork suckers canceled me out in Jasper but I found this place three miles up the road. I like this one better anyway.

Hi BBOK:

You'll have a ton of fun. The weather over on my side of OK and over in AR is PERFECT. Supposed to be the entire week.

Did the lodge say why they were cancelling? Sounds to me like one to avoid.

I passed that place Saturday! The leaves should still be pretty awesome from Talimena to about Russellville or so…… they had a bad ice storm it looks like in the Ozarks in the past few years and the leaves were mostly gone already. They may not have had much to begin with. I think the color was mostly pretty dull all over because of the lack of sun this year, but Hot Springs may really come alive with all the sun this week.

I did 1,135 miles from OKC last week on that same loop you’re taking. You should have much better weather.

Here’s my road trip report with some pics. Man, I strongly recommend checking out Mt. Magazine. I was really impressed!

Enjoy! Take pics!
