Dont know if he still lives there or not, but where 259 T's in to the wilhamena parkway, a prairie dog has his home about four feet up the mountain side. Fun to watch him as every vehicle coming up 259 is pointing right at him. You'd think He'd relocate or something.

Hey everyone, Myself and Heidi are planning on joining the ride.  I also have several articles from shamrock tours for bikes about arkansas and the Good Roades.  Where are we meeting to leave Fort Worth.  Please advise.  Paperpeddler

Paper Peddler!  Libby and I were going to head East and then head north after we meet up with VTXChad.  Leaving early on the 9th.
You in?!  We will do a roll call as time gets closer.  Still trying to get a couple of other guys to commit from up here. (DFW)

For those so inclined, there is a big casino less than 90 miles from mena, brand new (2 yrs old) and easy to get to. Choctaw, outside of FT Smith, just over the border in OK. Huge . Not condoning gambling  ;) (anyone up for a game of poker?) in any form, but we might get a game up at the limetree. Anyone ever play Tonk before? ;D

Does the Casino have a hotel and why are we not booking there?   :thumbup:

You can book there, no prob. weekly nights $90, weekend $129. 90 miles away from where we were going to base our rides out of, plenty of time to adjust, I guess. Mena just seemed like more of a riding hub, kinda' a gateway to lots of destinations...pig trail, ozarks, Talimena DR, Petit Jean mt, Rich mt...etc, But any road in that area of Arkansas is usually great. If casinoing is your thing, theres one just north of you just over the OK line too. I believe it is close to Durant. One in Broken Bow and Idabel also, but they are small casinos, one in a old Walmart  store I believe. Mena is just 11 miles from the CMA national Headquarters, who has thousands of bikes coming in the week after we will be there. That is in Hatfield AR. Where I live there are streams of bikes all that next week passing back and forth for their OCT changing of the colors Rally. I'm over 100 miles away, and not on hwy 59 that goes straight north to there, the best shot up to there from the south.

My response was more tongue and cheek than a real request.  I am here to ride!!  That being said, one of these days I am going to plan to ride and stay in Eureka Springs, that place is beautiful, has bars and rooms with 2 Queen beds can be had for sub $50/night.  Only problem, it's another 185 miles past Mena and from Houston that is a long 185 miles.  I can make the ride but it's about 10+ hours, not good for everyone.  Coming back last time we had to stop 130 miles short of home (Nacadoches) because one of our riders couldn't go any more.  Good thing was, the hotel had a pool and the gas station across the street had beer.  Win Win.   :thumbup:

It is like a rummy gambling game, pretty fast paced. Lots of fun

Hey anyone leaving the Fort Worth Area on Thursday headed to Arkansas.  Will leave early Thursday, some company would be nice if you can keep up.  Looking forward to a great ride and Weekend.  Let me hear from anyone in the area.

We are riding up with Steve and Libby, planning to leave our area around 8:00 AM on Thursday.  I am still waiting on a location, but I suggested the Valero at I35 & 114 on the north east corner.
