Default HOT SPRINGS, AR RALLY SEPTEMBER 14-17

The wife and I will be leaving the Shreveport / Bossier area on the 14th headed to Hot Springs. I have not decided on a time yet but was tninking on trying to form a group headed up that way and / or pick up a few passing through on the way there. There is a really great BBQ place in Lewisville we could stop for lunch about 90 minuites North. This is going to be an open rally this year. I went to the HOG rally there last year and would estimate around 15,000 bikes and less then a dozen vendors. It shoud be even better this year with a lot more vendors present. Anyone interested drop a line.

Hey Thanks FatBoy. I"ll do that, I have alredy reserved a cabin, my brother, his wife, her brother and wife are coming also. I am so excited I can hardly wait! We went last year and had a really great time. We have already pre-registered and plan on attending the early bird party. The entertainment is going to be GREAT.

I am planning on leaving from Taco Bell on I-220 and Airline Drive in Bossier City, LA around 11:00am and should hit Lewisville, AR around 12:30 - 1:00pm for some killer BBQ. Should be in Hot Springs around 3:30 - 4:00pm. Check into cabin, and unload bike. Anyone coming thru Bossier and would like to meet up the wife and I will be on a well packed red Dyna.

YOU DOG! [sm=icon_cheers.gif] You're gonna be right smak dab in the middle of it. Right next door to the convention center. I'm renting a cabin on Lake Hamilton with my brother and his brother in law. Well I'll be closer to the Harley shop anyway. Too bad you can't leave until Friday, I just got an email from the local HOG group and it looks like they are going to stage out of Brookshires at noon on Thursday. I am still plannin on leaving Taco Bell maybe a little later like around 11:30 and hook up with that bunch. Gives me time to eat a light lunch, knowing these guys I'm sure another eatin spot is planned between here and Hot Springs. If this is anything like last year, the locals were great! Bikers owned Hot Springs for the weekend. Ride safe and hope to see ya there.
