Late Summer Trip
I have been planning this trip for a few months now and wanted to post it here and let you guys give me ideas for places to visit, or better routes along the way. I am going to be camping it National or State Parks along the way. Anyways here is a link to the route that I plan to take:

Let me know what you guys think and if you have any sugestions feel free to speak.

Hey jrsmith,
Sounds like a great bike trip.
I live about 10 or 12 miles out of Zwolle, La. Are you planning on staying at the North Toledo Bend State Park out of Zwolle or where? When were you planning on taking this trip? If I'm around then, let me know and I'll meet up with you and we can eat a bite or something.
PM me if you want, and I'll give you me cell # just in case something happens and you need anything.
Chop On,
Robert

I'm not completely sure what roads you prefer or how much time you're willing to take on them, but out of Hot Springs taking 7 up to Harrison is pretty nice, plus Eureka Springs is a nice town you could go through on the way back over toward Oklahoma.
I'm torn on recommending that one since you have Talimena scenic byway on there which has a great park to camp at called Queen Wilhelmina on top of the mountains along the way there. However, Talimena is only around 50 miles long whereas taking 7 up to Harrison then 62 back over to Oklahoma probably has more mountains and turns than 10 through Oklahoma.
Either way it looks like a great run and it should be a lot of fun. I might head up to Queen Wilhelmina in the next couple of weeks for an overnight camping trip some weekend. Living in the flat lands here, it's nice to be someplace where I can wake up at dawn and look off a mountaintop at the mist covered trees.
