The People in Arkansas

Posted: April 11th, 2007 | Author: admin | Filed under: 50StateRide, BlackBerry Post | 2 Comments »

I’ve met several interesting people in the past few days in Arkansas. All of the natives have been warm and a couple of the outsiders have stood out.

I met a family who is touring the country for 400 days on bikes. I haven’t have a chance to check out their site, www.familyonbikes.com, but I imagine it’s got some good info.

Tonight I pulled into Eureka Springs after riding a little more than 200 miles up from Russellville to Missouri and then back down. I found a biker only motel called Rider’s Rest. When I arrived I was the only one here. Shortly after I took my bags in, a group of six bikes from Louisiana pulled in. I ended up going to dinner, trading motorcycle stories, and getting some pointers on tomorrows ride to Oklahoma. I’m continually impressed at how friendly other bikers are. I have to say, if you don’t ride, you probably haven’t experienced what I’m trying to conveign.
