I've been thinking about getting our little group for a ride down that way this summer.
I'd like to visit Branson for a day or two and I see that they have a huge biker event going on in mid-August near Springfield.

Branson Mo traffic blows ***. Worst traffic jam I've ever been in on a scoot. Bypass that hell hole. Anything from Table Rock lake south into Arkansas is what I do on a regular basis...

Absolutely try to avoid Branson proper unless you want a workout of your clutch hand. Hwy 76 traffic is awful. The area around it is beautiful. A nice ride is east and then south to Peel’s ferry into Arkansas, back west to Eureka Springs. Hard to find a bad road in that area.

I am heading to Springfield on Monday - unfortunately, not riding the bike. Nice GWRRA rally taking place and, I have been planning this for over a year. Last year's rally was cancelled.
Got a new bike, everything is ready - however, I can't use my brank hand - carpal tunnel. Having surgery md July so, am hopeful I can be back on the bike by the end of August. After being shut away most of last year, we just can't stay home - need to get out.

That map is showing the main highway. I was trying t show you 125.
125 is a good ride, ferry over into AR, or turn east or west. You can swing west over to Harrison
Trout fisheries are neat.
