Howdy,

:tab Okay, so our planned rally went down the toilet with a silent flush! Not to worry. Several of us are heading to Eureka Springs, Ar., the same weekend. We will be staying at the Comfort Inn of Eureka Springs. I just reserved the last three rooms they had available. :?

:tab Most of the large chain hotels are already booked solid for that weekend. There is a large Jazz Festival in town the same weekend as well as a few other events. There are numerous non-chain hotels and I am sure some of them still have rooms. Most of the hotels are in the same area, so finding the Comfort Inn to hook up with us would be simple.

:tab If anyone would like to join us, they are welcome. However, you will have to arrange your own lodging. The Comfort Inn is right near the intersection of Hwy 23 and US 62 on the South side of town. We will probably leave the hotel parking lot each morning at 9:00am. I have already laid out numerous routes in the area ranging from about 150 miles up to nearly 500 miles. See them here:

Arkansas routes (http://www.backroadmotorcycletours.com/TRIPS/ARK-091803/routes.htm)

:tab We will be arriving late Thursday afternoon. We will be riding all day Friday and Saturday, then coming home on Sunday. All the spaces in my truck and on my trailer are spoken for already, sorry.

:tab As usual, any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Adios,

Glad to see this Arkansas ride is coming together after all. 8)

In addition to the usual travel items, I'll be bringing my rainsuit, bike cover, chain & lock, an extra helmet visor and an extra pair of riding gloves.

Any suggestions about other useful things to bring along?

Howdy,

We have a rider cancel and now have a room slot available if anyone decides they want to go with us at the last minute! Scratch and I are leaving Huntsville Wednesday afternoon and heading to DFW to stay with Larry J. Thursday morning, we are heading up to Eureka Springs. Coming back Sunday. Cost for the room slot is $140 or so for the weekend (three nights).

Adios,

I'll be in Ft Smith Riding the Ozark NF. Y'all have fun!

We rode through Mena last weekend. It was a nice ride.
