Day forty five, russellville AR to springdale AR

Route 7, Arkansas scenic byway continues to impress, consensus is we really like Arkansas for motorcycling, seems every road is made for two wheels. Heading north from Russellville we climbed steadily up into the Ozarks, only to about 1000’ asl but it dropped the temp to the mid twenties all the way to Jasper, about 110 Kms north.

Coffee at Jasper, that first town shot is the wee village of Jasper. We then headed west on the 74 up and over Mt Sherman toward Ponca, took the 21 up to the wee village of Kingston. That second town shot with the square in the middle is Kingston, maybe we use the word town loosely. the pic of us on the seat outside Grandpa’s is also in Kingston.

Lunch at Granny’s in Huntsville before heading into our accommodation at Springdale. What. A great days riding with plenty of twisting, ups and downs and a couple signs to make us smile that state “ twists and turns for 43 miles, drive carefully”, just the signs a motorcyclist likes to see on a nice sunny day in backblocks Arkansas.

great day.
