April 10, 11, 12 East and Northward Bound

Weather 75, 66, 55 and 20 less at night - You can tell we are getting closer to home!
Left the Ozarks sadly but all good things come to an end.  As well our out of country medical insurance runs out April 15 so we need to get home this week or call and get it topped up.   Interesting enough we have met some Canadians that leave without insurance beyond their OHIP.   Heaven help them if something happens.
Anyways we find the longer we are on the road the less we travel in a day.   About 300 miles is fine for us now and it might take us 6 hours to do it.  Usually we have a few stops at a rest center and for diesel fuel and a bite of lunch in the coach. 
So Tuesday night we stay in West Memphis, Arkansas at the KOA, Wednesday we move north on I55 and across the Western Kentucky Parkway to Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground and tonight in Van Buren, Ohio at Pleasantview Campgrounds.   When in Ohio call ahead as camping opens around March 15 to April 15 but check before you count it being open.
Tomorrow we will be home at the Farm.  Taking the BlueWater Bridge as Billy is still haunted of our crossing last October on the Ambassador Bridge and refuses to take it.... ha ha; I don't blame him.  Not sure where we will be camping for the next little while.... stay tuned!

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.
