Thanks for the advice. I was thinking of dropping the truck trailer and staying at different places but I think my coworkers would be more comfortable basing out of one location. From what I am gathering from reading Arkansas riding posts, I am thinking of basing out of Harrison which kills me because I hate hauling my bike in a trailer through great riding area.
After looking things over I might just base our riding out of Harrison rather than touring around. It looks like I would have divided highway 65 coming in from the North for all but the last few miles coming into Harrison for pulling the four place enclosed trailer.
Thanks Josh, I am leaning toward just basing our riding out of Harrison so I hope to find a hotel with room for the pickup and trailer. I think you guys stayed at the Quality Inn if I remember right. I did a little hotel research in Harrison and it seems like a decent hotel and a good price.
Welcome, I think that is where we stayed. It was clean, quiet, reasonably priced, catered to bike people in that they had towels in the lobby for washing your bike. They were older hand towels, but. One the less, they provided them. Adjacent to the hotel is an okay resturant. Kinda like a Perkins type place. And there was a liquor store right across the street in front of the hotel. The rooms had BOTH outside access and an interior hallway to the lobby. I bet you could park a trailer there.
Willie Nelson is a slacker. I will have to make sure he brings Mr Happy Aerostich to Arkansas to get some updated pictures of his travel adventures.
Hwy 65 coming south into Harrison is fine. I do it from time to time in our RV. As you get into Harrsion you'll be on 4-lane going through Harrsion, but you'll be fine.
That's good advice. By staying in one place for a week, you're limiting yourself.
I gave the Hub a lot of thought but they have an event called the Hillbilly Hangout going on there the same time we will be down there. I have also heard others say they prefer to stay in Harrison over the hub because of better access to civilization and a liquor store. Some day I want to try the Hub as it seems like my kind of place.
I was considering the same idea of spending a night or two down south rather than spending five nights in the same spot. If I was going alone I would prefer to stay in a different town every night but with the group I am going with I think basing out of one location with one night farther South may be a better idea. My fellow Firefighters where concerned we may end up in a dry town or county at the end of a days ride.
In Arkansas, that's a definite possibility.I was considering the same idea of spending a night or two down south rather than spending five nights in the same spot.
