All kinds of rooms available now, I just switched from the Sleep Inn in Springdale to staying at the Inn at the Mill on the edge of Fayetteville. I know that Red Roof Inn had some rooms available down the street from UofA. I think coast was $119

This last weekend i rode up to Hot springs and spent the night and me and a buddy are riding up Thur staying until sat. Were going to ruff it and tent out, just $20 a night with free breakfast at the American Legion. Looks like it's suppose to be a nice weekend but the jacket came out at night and in the morning this past weekend so were going to pack heavy for this weekend.

It about a 7-8 hour ride from FT Polk and i'm off Fri,Sat,Sun with the wife out of town for the week so she gave me the "all okay" to go up.
Lows are in the upper 40's this weekend. No rain but one thing about Arkansas weather, it could change anytime. check their website, the fair ground had camping on a first come/first serve basis.

Thumbs up

Strapped the bike down on the trailer last night. Get off work pack some clothes.
Pulling out of town, hopefully by 4pm. Should check into
the motel by 1am, just depends how many potty stops the wife needs.

Looking forward to some Blues, Bikes & BBQ and some sunny upper 70 degree weather for a change.
