Joe & I left Joplin at 0730 this morning, headed south on 71 to Arkansas. The morning air was cool, the sun was shining, and the views were amazing. Riding through the tunnel south of Fayetteville was fun, the Harleys really roared!
Lunch in Mena, AR at the Skyline Cafe. Knew if would be a good place to eat because of the other bikes parked out front.
Arrived in Hot Springs by 3pm, and it was getting hot outside! Whew! The AC felt really good. Met up with Toni and Annie, who had driven down in the car. They were doing some shopping, Joe & I registered at the Austin Hotel HQ, then went over to the local Harley dealer to check out the vender booths. It must have been 110 degrees on the parking lot--we didn't stay long.
So, my favorite part of the day was the riding and fellowship with Joe. I'm not sure being in a crowed town with a couple thousand other Harley riders is going to be high on my list of things I want to do again soon, but I'm going to try to have fun. Is nice to have Toni and Annie here with me--we went out for dinner in the air conditioned car--VERY nice!
All set for tomorrow, we plan a ride in the surrounding area with Joe, and a poker run after that. Taking plenty of cold water on the bike.
