I see you are in Jacksonville. Puts you about an hour south of here. Currently in Hopewell at least for a couple of more weeks.

I would love a Bucket List of AR rides.

Scooter's Resturant at the Hub, south of Harrison (use to be Dogpatch) on Fri. & Sat. have some real good prime rib & steak...

PS: Watch for deer & reitred yankees...
Just south of Allison in Mtn View is a great wing house right by the Wal mart. Awesome eats.
Used to run those roads for years. I've traveled every highway north of I40 and some below. The Hub used to be the old Dogpatch. They are cutting a lot of curves out of the road between eureka and gateway now.
You guys are making me miss home. Born and raised in Heber Springs and just moved to Florida 7mths ago.

I will put a few together when I get home tomorrow and post them. I have to go to work and line my crew out. Pick up my bank statement and drop it off at the underwriters but should be home before 10. Will give me something to do besides work on this moving crap.

I think tomorrow will be sip apple pie, dream of 75 degrees, and pass on a few good rides

The Wing Shack is good eats. If you head a couple of miles north on 5 there is a store on the left hand side of the rode next to the VFW called Mellons Country Store. Has a big windmill in front of it. My in-laws built that and I lived above it the last 3yrs until they sold it last August.

Thanks, and hey, if you're dropping off bank statements for mortgage underwriters make sure you bring them ALL PAGES!!! I'm in the mortgage business and I can't tell you how many times people are told we need ALL PAGES, and they don't bring them all.

They already have the last 3 months but my annual bonus lands in there after midnight and it's payday. So they want that so they can see the down in there. Just another hoop to jump through. It's actually going good. About at the seal the deal and close stage.

Pig Trail Harley Davidson, the largest dealer in the NW Arkansa area, is in Rogers/Bentonville. Bentonville is home to Wal-Mart headquarters.
If you decide you have time to visit Missouri, go to Noel in the SW corner of MO. Take 59 North for beautiful rock overhangs and river views. At the edge of Lanagan is a biker friendly eatin' place in Truitts Cave. From there you can take EE over to 71 and haul it back to Arkansas or turn around and see the views from the other direction.
