Our group is riding up from Fl. the day before the rally and staying at my sisters in Ft. Smith, probably won't even go to the rally, dates were just a coincidence. Gonna do Talimena Skyway for sure. Have 2 nights booked in Eureka Springs the days after the rally and gonna play in that area and up into Missouri...

This will be my 5th year.....Pig trail (HW23) is a good ride but heavily traveled on the rally weekend. I like the roads farther out east. HW21 is a good ride that will take you up into the Buffalo river area. There is even a heard of elk that roam the Boxley valley. If you get lucky you can see them. Pretty much any road between HW412 and I-40 that goes thru the national forest is a pretty good ride. HW123 is my favorite. I stay in Clarksville for 2 nights and get all my riding in then up to Fayetteville for two nights to do the rally thing. Fayetteville gets extremely crowded on Friday and Saturday. Dickson St is the main drag, bars ect. Everything else is dependent on what you are into. There is pretty much something for everyone.

I like riding HWY 7 from Harrison, AR to Russellville, AR. I also like to go to Rogers, AR and Eureka Springs, AR. Tons of good roads down there. If you go up HWY 65 into Missouri, go past Branson to Ozark, MO. Eat at Lambert's cafe. Home of the throwed rolls.

I'll try and take off early Thursday and head down there. If not will leave Friday Morning.
