The only reason I say this is usually we get a little snow in March,around the Jay Ok area.
I am being optimistic I guess and am hoping we will have good weather for those two days. Now we are looking at staying maybe in Grove, OK, just north of you.

There is a beautiful lake in Grove,there is a boat called the Cherokie Queen that you can go on a dinner cruise on,but they don't start untill April,because of the weather,if it happens they are running,check it out,it is pretty cool.All the locals will know what you are talking about.

Just to share a little here. I'll be headed on our second annual southern Missouri and Arkansas run in April. You guys should check out the Caboose Junction Resort http://caboosejunctionresort.com/map.htm(insert joke here ha ha) in Lampe Missouri. Itis on the south side of Table Rock lake. When you leave the resort, point your bike in any direction of some great roads to ride. There is will be about 20 of us going this time. We reserve the three caboose setup so that we can use the huge covered deck to party on. Check it out.

After you do the Talimena Drive west to east, head over to Hot Springs AR (interesting resort town) and then back north on Arkansas Hwy 7. Very scenic road.

There are some pretty roads and mountains from mid-eastern OK on down to Paris, TX... but frankly, you'll find MUCH more interesting twisties, small towns, etc, in the quarter of Arkansas that is north of the Arkansas River to the MO state line, and to the eastto about Russellville or Conway.

However, the Ouachita's of eastern OK and western AR (i.e. the region where the Talimena Drive/Skyline Drive is located) is also quite nice... just farther from you. Unless you have relatives that live in Paris... IMHO, you won't find better riding down that far.

Don't let the spook lights get you there in NE Oklahoma after dark. I grew up in that area and might want to join you all for a portion of your ride if you don't mind an extra bike.Need to visit relatives and friends.
