Ran some more good roads today from Russellville Arkansas to Poplar Bluff Missouri. Word of advice don’t stop in Poplar Bluff. Place is a hole. Meth heads everywhere. Pulled the first double yellow pass with her on board. Her only concern as she came on the intercom quick like was “hey was that a cop behind us”. My response “I hope not I didn’t see that SUV until mid pass”. Hit about 30 minutes of a downpour on our way to hotel. Had about an hour to dry out a bit before we actually made it to the hotel. Little over 500 miles today. Homeward bound tomorrow.

On our third day of five days to the Ozark. Mrs. Durk is killing it averaging close to 500 miles a day. No complaints about speed or cornering too hard. She gets a little green feeling at times so does request at times to back it down a bit. MO 125, AR 125, AR 123, AR 7 are some good roads. Peel ferry is a cool deal, can’t believe it’s free. Did take a route around Lake of the Ozarks that was a nice cruise and had a fun little loop from Camdenton down towards Devil’s Elbow and back up to Bridal falls this morning.

It's been years since I've been to Arkansas an Missouri, when I was there I was following so I don't remember the routes well. I do remember really liking the Eureka Springs area in Arkansas and riding around in the Mark Twain National Forest. Hope you two enjoyed yourselves.

Ah-ha! So this is how you finance your hobbies and free time activities....BRILLIANT!!! I never realized that all those lavish, high-dollar casinos made money by giving it away to their customers. 😉

I don't have that kind of time in a day to ride something that slow. I have many miles to cover and couldn't get that accomplished poking around on something so slow.
