It's HOT in Hot Springs today! Still going strong, though. Headed out early again, rode to the Hot Springs overlook and took this picture of the town. Then over to the convention center where the local HOG chapter Road Captain led about 20 of us on a ride on Black Snake Road, then up to the Blakley Dam which forms Lake Ouchita where I took the other two pictures in todays blog entry--one of Lake Ouchita, the other down stream.
I thought is was cool how a bunch of different riders can ride well together based on the good riding habits we learn in our local chapters. There was the smell of smoke in the air this morning from the campsites, which was a pleasant aroma, but I was sure glad I wasn't camping in this heat! Met a guy from Louisiana on the ride who was staying at the same hotel.Next, I rode one of the poker runs, a 66 mile route with 5 stops. Most of the stops were at businesses, a ploy to get us to shop there on the way. But some stops were at scenic destinations. Causes one to become more familiar with the 
local. Oh, I had a pair of 6's. Ho hum.
local. Oh, I had a pair of 6's. Ho hum.Rode around town a bit, but was sick hot! Ugh! Went to the motel pool, met 2 bikers from Republic and the guy from Louisiana, too. Had fun sharing stories and cooling off. All the little kids stayed away from the pool, too many bikers I guess.
Out to dinner tonight, just me, Toni & Annie have gone home to be with the dog. Early to bed, then away early in am to head home, but taking a long, scenic route up highway 7.
