Haven't missed one since 2006. Their fees for vendor booth space is running a lot of them off. Still worthwhile for me, I'm close enough that I do day rides over for at least 2 days of it and find something else to do on Saturday.

I went in 2012, its a smaller family type rally. Still a good time and the ride through AR is nice. I was living in Louisiana st the time so it wasn't a far ride, I don't think I would bother going now that I'm in NC. It's pretty small with good surrounding riding.

I'll be in that area the week before. My sister lives in Ft. Smith and I'm gonna use her place as my base camp. Lots of folks rave about the riding out there and I've been out there the last 2 years for weddings and saw what they were talking about. Can't wait....

We already have our rooms reserved in Eureka Springs. But we also have a friend with a house in Garfield that we might be able to use. Not a bad road anywhere up there to ride.

Cabin for the weekend in Eureka Springs. Not a bad road in the area. Rally is awesome and I would highly recommend the parade of bikes on Saturday, had a blast! FT
