Obviously this is a marathon trip.  If the distances or the routes don't look promising, nothing is etched in stone at the moment so let's talk about it if there's something on your mind.

Overall, it should be a great trip.  I think this will be my fourth trip through Arkansas along these routes and it's some of the best riding you'll find anywhere (just for grins, use the zoom in feature on Push Mountain Road).  Long damn days for sure but great times for sure too!

You might consider trying the route via Paris and from there taking 195 to 37 to Idabel.  That little road is great and breaks up the freeway blues. Then 259 north to 144 into Talahina

Cool.  That does look interesting 

Out.  Broke my make the beast with two backsing ankle.  More tomorrow on the subject.

I need more Vicodin to relieve these feelings of neglect and suspicion I have no friends on this board.

I LOVE you! 

Bromance?  Is this what's new and cool?

Whoa... This board's tone kinda changed since my last post.  Not that I'm judging you boys or anything... I'm all for people being happy, no matter what their lifestyle choices are...
