Sorry guys. I have been out of the loop for awhile. Bear had his back surgery last week.
I was looking at the map and I like the New Boston that Dave mentioned. And it being close to I30 we might have a variety of lodging to pick from. Texarkana was just an initial suggestion. I haven't looked at motels or anything for there. I have ex-in-laws that live there so if that is where we want to be I planned to call them and tell them what I would be looking for in a motel and see if they had suggestions. Cheap, Clean, and doors/windows from the rooms directly to the bikes.
But the bad thing about Texarkana is that would put us coming in deeper to Arkansas. And there is at least one Okie that wanted to meet up with us. I think if we come in like Dave suggested from New Boston that will put us closer to the Okie/Arkansas border making it easier for them to meet up with us to finish the ride in to Eureka Springs. But we don't want to come up through OK. The friends we are coming with said that road is not a very good ride.
Don't think Bear will be coming along. His recovery isn't going to be as quick as he thought and even if he comes in a cage I think that ride might be pretty long for him. And if he doesn't come along our friends may bail out. But I still plan to go. If I go by myself that leaves me wide open to possibilities to meet up with anybody. But we will cross that bridge closer to the actual ride.
Anyway, if you are looking for votes on the meet up place for us Texans I vote for New Boston. But what ever the majority decides. I have my handsful right now with Bear's recovery and my job.
