Greg was pumped for this trip to say the least.
Knowing how much I love Twinkies Greg bought a package to celebrate our arrival in Eureka Springs.

Tracks for the kids train that runs near the lodge.
| We met these two guys inside a convenience store in Ozark, AR. They gave us maps provided by the state of Arkansas especially for motorcyclists. |
| We stayed at the Edelweiss Inn in Eureka Springs. It's clean and comfortable, plus the owners are very nice. They offered maps of good rides in the area and towels to clean our bikes. |
Stopping along SR 125 in Missouri.
SR 125 is an incredible road, parts of it are like a roller coaster.
We stopped at Ozark Motor Sports in Mountain Home, AR so Greg could buy chain lube.
I spied this '68 Hodaka motorcycle, it belongs to a guy in the parts department.
This is an un-restored bike with 224.7 original miles!
Stopping along AR 21 Friday morning.
If you look closely on the right you can see someone peeing near the trees.
You know it's a good roads when you see a sign like this.
These photos were taken along the Arkansas Scenic 7 Byway.
The scenery in Arkansas is just awesome.
We stopped at the Ozone Burger barn in Ozone. The burgers are very good!
They'll let anyone eat there.

An abandoned church near a convenience store where we stopped for a soda.
| The trip wasn't without incident, a crown came off Greg's tooth while he was riding. He spit it into his glove then put it in his jacket pocket without stopping! |
The crown rode home in a bottle of Advil.
We had lunch at the Skyline Cafe in Mena, AR. Highly recommended.
We rode the Talimena Scenic Byway on the way to Talihena.
The road goes over the mountains, makes for the great views and riding.
