I wish I was going with you outdoorgirl. I would love to try that Big Texan 72 oz steak. When I lived back in Oklahoma I kept promising myself I would go out there some day but never did.
Are you gonna try to eat that huge dinner? If so, make sure you take pics.

Nice! I saw the Crue Fest when they played in SLC back in July, unbelievable show. You'll have a hell of a time.

We'll be packed up and heading out of Poteau, OK just after a late breakfast... hitting Hwy 112 to I 540 at Pocola, OK, then hit I 40 at Van Buren, AR, exit Hwy 23 at Ozark, AR (aka "The Pig Trail") and ride the Pig Trail to Eureka Springs. We're going to eat BBQ at "Bubba's"... then take a leisurely stroll back home.

Wanna' go?

We ate at Bubba's last year. Good BBQ and plenty of bikers to BS with. We're heading back to Oklahoma early Monday morning though. Be sure to ride down to War Eagle and check out the grist mill while you're there.
