The storm released us Tuesday around Texarkana TX so we made it into Oklahoma later than planned and from the wrong direction.



Waited out another pair of storms about 70 miles from Oklahoma City.





After dealing with a couple issues and waiting out more rain storms we rode a nice section of old Route 66 between Oklahoma City and Tulsa





Heading for Eureka Springs AR in the morning.

Can't ride all day if we don't start early. Heading south now. Weather is clearing. Should make Memphis for lunch.

Thumbs up Latest Update

Had a great ride on Friday. We got to ride the Oklahoma Scenic 10 that runs between the Illinois River and Hanging Rock.




Over looking the White River in Arkansas



Rode a portion of the Pig Trail in Arkansas for a ways from 412 north to Eureka Springs AR.

Ate lunch with some of the locals at The Roadhouse outside Eureka Springs.

But the highlight of the trip was lunch at Corky's in Memphis on Saturday. The hospitality was awesome. The manger even took me back into the kitchen to see their pit in action. Awesome.



and of course it would of been a travesty to been in Memphis and not stop by Graceland.



We are spending our last night on the road in Childersburg AL and hope to make it home tomorrow
