Guys and Gals,

I guess we should start kicking around the idea of another Arkansas trip this fall. [moto]  We can stay in the usual spot (Holiday Inn Russellville, AR) or we can try a new place in far northern Arkansas. 

The place is Gastons.  You can go to www.gastons.com and check it out.  We can rent rooms or cabins.  My dad says at this place a couple times a year and really enjoys it.  They have a restuarant onsite and it is right on the river so we can always take a swim to cool off.  I did a route up to it and it is about 460 miles from Dallas to it will be a good day's worth of riding.  If you guys are interested in it I can work on a route out of there.  I think we can find plenty of new roads to try out on the loop so it should be fun.

The reason I picked those dates was that those are away games for the Arkansas Razorbacks so we won't have to deal with people trying to get to NW Arkansas for the game.

Thougths?  Suggestions?

Take care,

Swanny

The September date is a possibility

i think you should talk to DucLSmart.... granted, no one knows exactly what he does, besides steal towel hugs and withold wireless keys, but he damn sure has lots of time on his hands...   Tongue

Would really like to go but alas I'll be at INDY for the races. On another note, a very cool place to stay would be on top of Mt. Nebo. Check it out, it's not far from russleville or Petite Jean or if you are trying to get more NW, then Magazine Mt. Make a pass on Rt. 23 for me! I'll be thinking of you while at INDY.

I'm interested. Never get my fill of AR roads. [moto] October sounds interesting, not throwing September under the bus either. Not worried about football just the opening of dove season in September. Don't want to burn all my kitchen points on dove hunting then have Jen X me out of the Sept. ride. Going in October will allow me to earn some more points toward the ride. But what the heck, if the masses want September who am I to argue. It's all good. Might be a little cooler in October though... just a thought. waytogo

Swanny, I like Russellville. Nice and centrally located. The new place you speak of, does it have a bar? Very important. chug

Gaston's has a restuarant that serves wine so I assume they have other drinks as well.

Whatever works for most people is fine with me.  We can go on a home game football weekend but I am not sure what it will do to the amount of traffic on the roads up there.

Traffic will be fine, as long as you stay out of Fayetteville. 540 can get a little hectic, but it is nothing like here. I would describe it more like I-20 on a Saturday

I got a pre-approval from the wife to go on this one!  My brother-in-law has showed an interest as well. (he rides a Victory cruiser though) So I will follow this thread with great interest......... Is it Sept. yet?
