March 30 - Apr 9, Ozarks, Arkansas

Weather Warm 88 to 76, only 60/50 at night
Every road here in the north west quadrant of Arkansas which is Ozark country is great riding.  It winds back and forth and up and down and twists and winds, but the elevation is never more than 2300 feet.  It seems they do not have straight roads!  Billy was in heaven and we both cannot wait to come back.   This is the first time we have road almost everyday and saw so many motorcycle on the road, every where!  There is no end to the rides and the sites are beautiful.

Third night arrived in Russellville, Arkansas.  We stopped at the Welcome Center coming into Arkansas and they suggested a nice little state park on a lake, so away we went.  Lake Dardanelle State Park.  Staying here till April 9 after Easter to ride in the Ozark Mountains.
fed the blue jays every morning

Beautiful spot but only have internet access at Rangers Office.  Blogging will have to wait for now :(   Turns out we fall in love with this place and stay for 2 weeks and can't wait to come back.
