                  Right-O' my friend.

                  Will be 'Wingin' it out of here NW bound at the end of the week.
                  Very much looking forward to a visit nice with you, Motoman & Motowoman.

                  My Colorado & Utah 'low light' indicator started flashing this spring. It seems to come on every couple of years.
                  In April I had talked with Greg about doing their now famous CO-UT-AZ ride in May but decided on a solo AL-MS-AR-TX-NM
                  out to US191 Morenci-Alpine AZ instead. I took the warm route but missed seeing Greg tow Tod off the mountain in a snow storm.
                  So now Stewart & I are doing a re-run of the CO-UT trip we took a couple years ago.

                  So see you in two weeks. When heading home eastbound on Sept 18-29-20 I hope see some high elevation Populus tremuloides in its shimmering gold glory.
                  Million $$$ highway Durango-Montrose on 20th should get me that. Or on my favorite, CO114 Gunnison to Saguache.
                  I'd hang around longer in CO but will need to scoot east to be at XS SE on Sept 25th.

                    You should swing up to NW Arkansas Jeff. I bet I could get Tod, Harry, and Bob to meet you over in Eureka Springs to take you around some of the Arkansas backroads if you could plan on being there for a Saturday and Sunday.

                    I could scoot over there on Friday after work. Only 150 miles for Bob and me.

                      However, may call and try and stop by ASLUT for lunch or coffee on the way back from UT. Depends on weather.

                        Coffeyville is the state line between KS and OK. only 100 or so miles north of me on 169. Pass through there every time I go up to drink Russ' beer and give Harry hell in KC Kansas/Missouri. I'm sure they would welcome a visit from you also.

                        If you stop in asluT on the way back lunch is on me at a great Mexican restaurant Tod and I stumbled across a few years back. Right off I44.

                        You really need to ride the Arkansas back roads though. Much like the ones in NC.

                          BTW, never stayed in Harrisburg. Always Eureka Springs. In the Ozarks.

                          Don't think I've ever even been there. No roads.

                            I have ridden a lot of them central AR state / county roads north of I-40. Have a friend that lives in Bull Shoals too. A lot of those AR roads are really got messed up with that Gas Drilling boom. Hauling all those massive drilling rigs on those marginal narrow roads. Like around AR16. Just tore em' up bad. Though Kimberling, Mtn Home, Eureka area make nice riding. I prefer Calico Rock / Batesville area roads.
