If gPink comes, you two could ride together, he is thinking about riding in from Carbondale.

Do you have hotel reservations?

Jeremy, Planning on coming.
@ yoman, I'll cross the river at Chester and ride rt 32. If this sounds better than the slab to you let's get together.

32 is a fun road, we will actually be on it for the ride on Saturday.  You will have a fun time getting here.

It depends on where you want to stay (Lake or the Waynesville/FLW area) most of the stuff here is chain style, but if you want to stay up at the Lake there are tons of options.  They are probably filling up quickly since all the pirates ride in and clog everything up.  We do have several nice hotels in the link from the first post. 

Here is an option for a mom and pop style place that is 10 minutes from my house and 20 minutes from the Lake.

Crossroads should be pirate free along with the Wanynesville/St Robert area hotels.

Not sure where (or who) Chester is.  I can definitely help out with transportation of brews.  The selection in town isn't the greatest but if someone would like we could make a trip onto post and go to the Class 6.  They have a pretty good selection and the price is almost always better.

I did a pre-ride today with my wife and the road was awesome, if everyone wants to we can stop in this tiny little town called Bixby and eat at the general store. They have excellent sandwiches and the service was great for all the motorcyclists.

Here is a pic of the general store.

Wish I could. It sounds like a fun time to meet new people and ride some nice roads.  I'll be hitting Little Rock Thursday night, Hattiesburg Friday night and then back again Saturday and Sunday.  Hope the weekend goes off without a hitch for you all!

I'm giving it some thought.  I'm going off-roading in CO thru the 5th and I'd like to do the AR roads before winter and not sure I can do them all.

Arkansas has some excellent roads and I will heading down there in October for a weekend of riding.  I love it so much down there that I have been down there five times between this year and last year.  The roads here in Missouri are also worth the trip, so if you have the opportunity I will try to make it worth your while.  I might not be Bobby Flay, but I can hold my own when it comes to smoking animal flesh.
