2019 Arkansas Pictures

[Lee]

Hard to top Wes's report so I'll take the easy route and mostly post pictures
First I want to thank Curt for setting up the rally again and thank Bill and Dale for the fish fry.

This year we had a little extra fresh air but since I had a CO detector I figured it was safe to plug the broken window.


I didn't take a picture of our blood stained sheets, that was just creepy.

Bill and his traveling kitchen





Parking lot pics


Plenty of fire wood this year.
Gary brought some from Texas and Mrs Gordon's son gave us some.




Typical morning in Jasper



I didn't get a head count but I counted 34 dirt bikes and street bikes.
I think 8 guys brought 2 or more bikes.


Hwy 74 west of Kingston


Buffalo River at Ponca




Boxley Valley


Same spot in 1983


Saw this wheelchair rig at Turner Bend and at Jasper.




Sunday we moved over to Eureka Springs. It was sunny and upper 70s so it felt good to sit out in the sun.


Sunday night was not as nice with tornadoes and raining so hard you could only see about 10 feet.


We returned home on Monday. The temps were in the low 50s most of the day.

We'll see some of you next April in Texas.

Thanks, Lee, for taking time to photograph some of the action.

Noticed that you brought your own soap as did we. Excellent pix! Were the other people in the "1983 way back" pic some group riding buddies of yours or a chance meeting?

[Capnrip]

Awesome Lee! Liked the low water bridge and the wheelchair rig. I've never seen one of those before. Nice to see you both again as always.

On the right was a older couple we knew, probably same age as I am now
We took a trip to the New England states with them in 79.
On the left is their son and daughter-in-law.
He was a big fan of fast cars and was a judge.
Debbie was in the middle.

Jeff asked about adding pictures to this thread.
If anyone wants to add pictures here feel free.

[K1DUDE]

I'll take the really easy route and post some pics here.

Never seen this breed before.

[K1DUDE]

I think Boyd mentioned what breed they were but I don't remember what he said.

[K1DUDE]

Smiles were abundant!

Thanks, Jeff!

I never did see that bunny again. I hope it didn't meet the same fate as the opossum on the half shell.

[Lee]

I think I saw Bill skinning the bunny before the fish fry

[Susan]

Probably tasted like chicken...

[Lee]

That armadillo picked a strange spot to take a nap

BMJ took this of me.

Here's a few pictures from my phone:

Reminisce.......

[K1DUDE]

Did you find a new wheel? All those frickin water crossings you like to do took that bearing out. Thanks again,Bill. It was epic.?

[aviator]

Ouch. Yep, a new wheel and sprockets and chain are in order here. Glad it all turned out OK with only a minimal delay in getting back.
Bikes are meant too be ridden.

Reminds me of a quote attributed to John Kennedy when his Jeep broke down.
