After much planning and a setback, we finally got to take our trip.
Amanda and I had been planning it since May of last year. Our first issue was how to take a family motorcycle trip with two bike. A sidecar of course! So we spent the better part of our time in the desert looking for just the right one. She had been wanting a sport bike, and now a sidecar. We compromised:
Our trusted steeds.
June 27th after church we were all loaded up and headed out.
We had no place to be,not even sure which way to go. It was great!
First stop was Queen Wilhemina State Park. Which meant we got to ride hwy 1! I love this road.
The photographer didnt get any while at the park.
From there we went north to Eureka Springs. It just so happens that sidecars on unmodified bikes handle wierd. And turning is a chore.
luckily it was a super low speed adventure with a nicely placed ditch there to catch her. I rode it out with ease.
We got to the great little town I just had to introduce my family to.
They liked the many springs best.
From there we headed north then east, ending up in Poplar Bluff, MO.
We thought Memphis would be nice, but decided to get a few more states under our belts, so we did:
Memphis was nice. We spent a down day there. Played on Mud Island
ate some BBQ, saw some sites
and of course walked down Beale Street.
Little Rock was next for us. We of course took the long way there.
Spent the 4th there..
Monday we were off to the Crater of Diamonds State Park.
This is how two of my girls "dug" for their treasures
While the other used the bucket properly
Sadly nothing was found.
Tuesday found us heading home.
Ten days gone, 38 hours, 6 minutes riding clocking up 1,970.8 miles.
More fun than I'e had in a very long time.
Two years we go to DC for the 4th!
