I’m good for most anywhere, I’m just happy God has enabled me to continue riding, and I’ve kind of gotten use to y’all, ya know ?

Amen! And a nice way of saying you might be able to tolerate me for a few days if I can join. Huh

AZ does look cool, but it is a haul for “most” of us I think. Does Arkansas and the Ozarks appeal to anyone as a more centralized location? Again, not my circus, not my monkeys. Just throwing it out there for discussion.

Hay Paul we went to North West Arkansas for a couple of years . It was a little town called Jasper. It was near the Arkansas Grand Canyon. I might have a 6x10 conversion trailer to bring next time we return. The first time we stayed in a cabin, second time in a Grand Old Hotel and both times had a great time. Or I could pitch in on a Cabin with you fellers , I don't think my wife will go this year. Her mom is almost 101 years old this year.

Paul , you know I live only a 1/2's days ride from the Tail of the Dragon / Two wheels of Suches area and my yard is nice and big with plenty of parking space. When my Son and Daughter in law move it to their house I'll have two extra bed rooms.

I figured y'all had already explored parts of Arkansas. I know where Jasper is. My wife's mom lives in Huntsville about 50 miles away. Beautiful country. Smelly chicken ranches, but beautiful area. I was just throwing that out there. Maybe we should all come visit you! Wait, that's no adventure for you!

I'd like to have yall come visit . My extra cabin is full of furniture right now , till Son and Wife get their stuff moved out of it.
But the two extra rooms both have beds one of them has son and wife now.
There are nice places to ride local here , I'd be leased to lead ya'll around for Day-Rides.
Or
From Houston it would be a nice ride over to Natchez MS , then spend the next day ridding up the Natchez Trace Parkway and meet me just short of Nashville TN (Leipers Fork) so I could show ya the way to Lynchburg TN where I live. Then we could ride over to the Tail of the Dragon the next day to meet Dave and who ever he brings.

Its finally cold enough now I don't want go ridding for a while ! Grin

MM, this is a super nice and gracious invitation. Thank you. You are in a beautiful area. It's been 15 years since I've been through TN. When we lived in Greenville SC for about 10 years (when I was a kid), we'd go to TN for an occassional camping/fishing trip some years.

Even if we don't do a full blown group ride in your neck of the woods, I have to seriously consider your offer once your kids get settled in their own place and you're "empty nesting" again. You have me looking at the Natchez MS area. Wow, I never would have thought about this area. And the route there from Houston seems nice.

Interested to see where the Spring group ride lands and if I can make it.

And it has a ROUTE 66 address!

For AZ, if I decide to ride out, I’d just have to find a route across Texas that doesn’t put me on I10 at 85+mph for 10 hours. Of course, you have a longer ride from TN, MM.

I’m still following but not voting (I’m too non-committal). AZ is quite a haul for folks like you and Dave and anyone east of Mississippi River. But y’all are seasoned iron butts!

But mike, check out those rooms, only 2 beds, probably queens. rollaways offered for $20, I don't think you're getting 4 people per room.
