Work in Fort Smith @ Gerdau, live in Van Buren. I work a 4 on 4 off schedule, which most of the time is 6 on 2 off, ie...why I had to bale on rally. Send a pm and maybe we can go for a ride.where do you work at? guess me and you will have to set a weekend to ride. All my summer plans are AR this year
Check Harrison, AR. About 10-15 miles north of Marble Falls.Accommodation:
Looks like the Hub is kinda booked out. Are there any other hotel/motels close by ?
Atlanta area riders:
Anyone riding in from the GA, AL, Carolinas area ?
Bring a tent!Accommodation:

At least ten quality hotels/motels in Harrison, which is an easy 12 miles north.Accommodation:

I'm in Atlanta, and fennelg has tentative plans to ride over from n. Carolina and ride from here with me. Probably ride for a few hours out and find a place to stay to make for a shorter next day ride. The other option is to stay at my place and head out for about a 12 hour ride. You are certainly invited to join. I'm planning on camping.Atlanta area riders:

Looks like a nice ride. I may be up for that, depending on what shakes out. I'll not be riding any off road during the weekend.FYI, there is a local Air BNB about 1/4 mile away that’s still available.
I don’t know what everyone’s riding plans are, but Friday, I’m riding a “Historiographical Tour” to visit 2 local Civil War sites. Going to Wilson’s Creek MO & Pea Ridge AR

There is another battlefield In Prairie Grove, AR. It’s about an hour ride from Pea Ridge. Take Hwy 62 west out of Fayetteville toward Farmington. About 8 miles past Farmington.FYI, there is a local Air BNB about 1/4 mile away that’s still available.

If it was me this is the route I would take. Hwy 7 to Jasper...74 to Ponca....43 to 41...21 to Kingston....74 to 23...23 to 12/127...12 to Rogers...New Hope Road to South 26th goes right to Russell Knives. Hobbs State Park on Hwy 12 is a really fun road and runs along Beaver Lake going into Rogers. There is a cut off off Hwy 12 on County Road 88 to New Hope Rd but I always stay on Hwy 12 and go thru old downtown Rogers. I don't recommend going Hwy 412 even though it might be faster, but it's a Divided Hwy and IMO isn't as fun to ride. Hope this helps you.Can anyone guess on nice roads between Dogpatch and AG Russell knife shop? https://agrussell.com/ Those roads look to be curvy, but ya know.... maps. I could sure see an afternoon to visit his shop, should be a hell of a selection of knives.

Yes, I had forgotten about that 1. I was there a coupla years ago. Nice place, but pretty small. I think it’s a state park instead on national park. But, we should probably go there also.
