  So looking forward to the Arkansas trip. Any of you ever been on this route? 

Route Distance: 126 miles with 517 curves.
Gasoline Locations: Harrison, Jasper, Deer, Ponca
Time Frame: 3 hours, 2 minutes

The Twisted Lady Route is named in honor of the famous outlaw Belle Starr who was known as “the Twisted Lady”. Belle used the old mountain trail that is now Highway 327 to visit her lover, Cole Younger and his friends Jesse and Frank James, all illustrious outlaws. Frank James had a home in Newton County and one of their favorite haunts was Alum Cove located along Highway 327. Frank James’ grave is actually located in Snow Cemetery just off Highway 327. The gravestone reads, “Frank James Alias Joe Vaughn 1844-“. Famous Baldknobber, Wash Middleton, AKA Wash Gibbs of “Shepherd of the Hills” fame was shot a few yards behind the Parthenon Store on July 4, 1888 by a U.S. Marshal for a killing in Missouri. It is rumored that Baldknobber Gold is buried in the hills surrounding Parthenon. Come explore this beautiful route through the Ozarks and find out why it was so famous. You might be able to even find some of the famed Baldknobber Gold!

Directions: Depart from Harrison on Highway 7 South towards Jasper for approximately 18 miles where you will take a right onto Highway 74 for .3 miles. You will then make a left onto Highway 327 and travel through the communities of Parthenon and Wayton. You will come out on Highway 16 where you will take a right and ride through the communities of Deer, Swain and Nail. Take a right onto Highway 21 and travel North through Boxley Valley. You will take a right onto Highway 43 and it will take you through Ponca and back to Harrison.

  Great trip to Branson & Harrison, AR. Bill & I had a great ride.  We really enjoyed the Ozark's. The roads were in good shape and not very busy for most of last week. We came back by way of Vicksburg, enjoying the night life. The weather the whole trip was pleasant. Looking forward to the next trip back.

No John and Joe?

[Farside]

Neither could make the trip after we rescheduled from April to May. 
Joe still thought maybe he could but he was interviewing and got a call back so he had to miss. He was offered the job so Joe will be moving to Nashville. Hate to lose our riding buddy around here but we will gain one in a beautiful area just north of us. He & Marcia have 3 kids and 2 grandkids who live around Nashville too so it was a blessing for them.
  Jerry you guys have a great trip and if you get this way on the way home give us a heads up!
