I think it would be cool if we could do day trips to KS & OK.

When in the spring are we thinking?

I am game

I have scoped some rides to S MO to Branson and over to Peel's Ferry then back into Extreme NW AR, and another great route thru Jasper to Hwy 123 and 7.. Cant get to Arkansas without seeing Hwy 23, the Pig Trail either. I could keep you guys on bikes 11 hours a day.

Gas just wants to get more stickers for his windscreen. Thats why he wants to hit NE and OK. Flat or not, one toe in or one mile in, he isn't picky.

Wont it be warmer down south there in late march and april? But I agree early May would be good.

You wanna stay in the 'haunted' Crescent Hotel? Dunno how bike friendly it is...

What is this 'haunted' Crescent Hotel you speak of?

Heck, I won't even need to take any time off work for once. LOL

Nice, real nice.

March is typically rainy season, April is still a touch chilly but not bad. Humidity isnt to bad in Eureka. It is higher altitude than most of Arkansas.
The Crescent Hotel in Eureka has been on several TV programs for being haunted. They have tours and you can request the most haunted rooms.

I'll take the least haunted room plz

Is this a hotel? or a motel? Prefer motel types as you are on the ground level and can keep an eye on the rides.

It was just a Halloween point of interest. It is a hotel and probably not the most motorcycle friendly, but would still be good fun. I am on the lookout for lodge style accomodations either in or immediately surrounding Eureka. It really is a motorcycle friendly community. I am going to ride over and spec it out soon as I replace the Buells battery...
