Thanks, TJ. I just read it, too. Motus Motorcycles posted it to facebook.  The parallels to the way I feel about today's federal government are eerie and scary. Thanks for the info on Arkansas! Can't wait to do some exploring! |

I looked at several TJ, some are the same or near the route I planned to ride. I may have to alter my route a little to catch the southern portion of hwy 7, that looks really good to ride. I had planned to start from Mena and go east on 88, but seven looks soo inviting. Ride Safely.

 If you are riding and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast. |

Hey TJ, Arkansas is definitely a biker's bargain when it comes to choices.  Lori and I just got back from Eureka Springs and routes 62 and 221 were wonderful rides. Can't even imagine what it looks like in the fall! |

I'm with Eli,,, I may need to modify my route slightly as well. A lot depends on the heat factor. I may need a quick route to get to AC sooner rather than later,,,  Have I mentioned lately how much I hate the heat ?   |

Queen Wilhilmena lodge is closed. They are totally renovating it. Camp grounds open, and train running, but that's about it.

yea LD, I tried for three days to book a room on the net, kept telling me that none fit my criteria, so I called, only to find out the aforementioned info.

Mount Magazine and Oark General store are some great points of interest as well I am looking forward to riding them again in Sept when we head back up to the BBB rally .

It's hard to find a road that isn't good as long as you're in the northern half of the state, whether it's Mount Nebo, Pig Trail, or just going up 7, 9 or 65.
Just got back from doing Talihena to Mena, then up to Harriet and across 14. I love the 14-87-66-263 loop ride down through Mountain View. If you go through Mountain View, don't forget to stop at the old time soda fountain at the pharmacy in the square.
