Going up to the 8th Annual Minnesota Ride in.....Left later than I had wanted. By the time I had coffee and played with the critters, it was 7:30 before I left out with Traveler pointed north....

Headed diagnally across Louisiana on I-49 to Shreveport and then went north into Arkansas and Texarcana.

ROde 71 up through Arkansas - sure can't make any time on it - nice road but a little 2 lane all the way up through Arkansas. It took me 6 hours to get through Arkansas. Nice curves - keeps you awake. REALLY NICE INTERSTATE BETWEEN FORT SMITH ARKANSAS AND FAYETTEVILLE ARKANSAS. For a superslab, scenery was AWESOME!!!!!!
Then crossed over into Missouri.

Made it to Nevada, Missoouri for the evening. A little rain but not bad. Up here, there are small towns and not many of them had BOTH a restraunt and a hotel, so Nevada had both and I decided to light for the night. 670 miles with another 500 or so tomorrow.
Good winds so far!
