Carl and Rene are coming up too, from that area east @ around greenville or so. Riding in from the west from Talihena OK over the Talimena parkway would make a grand entrance. If anyone is coming from that way, let me know and I'll meet you for the ride over in Talihena. Seefriedm, If you cant make it till Friday, we can ride west along the parkway and meet you in Talihena, then ride back. That road begs to be ridden more than once, lol.

So is Paris, TX gonna be the lunch meet-up location?  Should probably find ourselves a nice place to eat and then go take some pics by the Texas Eiffel tower (if time allows). 

I've already been there so I'm not begging to go but a neat Texas landmark nonetheless.

My vote is 19!  Nice 2 lane roads most of the way.  Off the beaten path and plenty of shade on the road.  And direct enough that it gets us in the right direction to where the pot of gold really is:  MENA!

Working on a route from Paris to OK 1 in the Ouachita National Forest.  I am looking for a recommendation for the route between Antlers OK and Clayton OK.  There are two roads, OK 2 and US 271.  They both look good but I have not been to this part of Oklahoma before.  Anyone who has, please post information. Thanks!

My friend recommended this place and asked him about Jaxx's Burger
Said it was the place to go for a great burger if that is what you wanted but Magel':s Grill
had a lot more variety.
