I've told a lot of folks, that even though we have had a great marriage, that is one of the best things we ever did FOR our marriage. Great times!!

Sounds like a great time! I hail from Joplin, so we hit the Eureka Springs area lots. Some great riding down there. That pic looks like it was taken at the observation point off 62. Can't recall the folks it's named after.

We stayed at the Best Western and had a blast.
