Three of my riding buddies and I found a way to get away for four days and Arkansas is a good choice for a four day weekend. We decided to leave Thursday night and drive (trailer) all night, getting us to Harrison around 8:00 Friday morning. This gives us 3 days of riding the good roads of Arkansas and one day to return. The state is beautiful in many ways, but I am not a photographer. I can take a picture of the majesty of Colorado or Utah and have it come out OK, but I can’t take a picture of a flowing river and expect it to be a framer. Arkansas has that flowing river and many more subjects for someone good with a camera. For this report, I’m going to tell you some of our experiences and show you a few pictures.
Our tradition of taking a picture with our waitress the first morning of any trip continues. In the past, my wife has said, “You must have drawn the short straw.” I lucked out with this waitress. She’s beautiful in many ways and our welcome to Arkansas was sweet.
Our cabin interior. Oak cabinets, oak chairs, oak table. The ceiling is pine. The lady running the cabins said her late husband built the 3 cabins just before he died. If you have ever been a carpenter, you will readily see the mistakes he made as soon as you walk in the door. We however were looking for a clean, roomy, cheap space to store gear and sleep and this was perfect. The lady even drove to town and got coffee when she found out we ran out. Little Cedar Cabins just west of Harrison on Hwy 62. Secluded, clean, hospitable, dishes and cooking utensils provided. All for $75 per night.
I'm still a little tired so I think I will post this little bit and add more tomorrow.
Oh, I posted this in "Story Telling" and unless my riding friends jump in, then any embellishments that I might add will become absolute truths by the end of April.
