We headed out Friday at noon, 2 Harley's on a trailer and stayed at Harrison, AR at the Holiday Inn Express. Usually love the place but nothing seemed to go quite right this weekend there. The maid forgot us, we had to beg for clean towels and no frig or microwave, which we like for our water bottles and my taster liking microwave popcorn. Oh well, enough on the negative. I will say they had a good complimentary breakfast with bacon, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy. Don't see that much with a continental breakfast.
We rode all day Saturday, about 190 miles. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. The reds and yellows showing through the landscape, not in full color but gorgeous. Lots and lots of bikers on the road. I know I'm a geek, but sometimes I keep my little tally of how many wave to me. It's unbelievable how friendly bikers are. Anyway, my grand tally for Saturday was 94.
Sunday I jumped on the back of Perrys bike, mainly so I could take pictures and we rode up the mountain on Hwy 7, down into the valley on Hwy 123, over on 74 and back up to Harrison. Another perfect day.
I'll put some of the my many click happy pictures on.
Just a few miles South of Harrison on HWY 7 you have to eat at the Hi-Boy Diner. The CLEANEST and BEST diner you'll ever eat at. I ended up having Cornbread and Beans and they were the best!
We was out exploring in the truck Saturday night down pretty primative rock roads and came across this 1830 cabin that has been preserved. We figure we'll probably be living pretty close to this after we loose the rest of our retirement.
