Having BBQ in Mountain Home, AR after riding Ozarks roads for 2 days. Have done the alleged best of the best, and they are unbelievable. Mostly perfect pavement, no traffic, almost no gravel, beautiful scenery, great engineering. They really get the curves banked well here.
Woke this morning to fog. Eerily quiet. The stars last night were amazing. So little artificial light at the campground. The bluegrass people were pretty good. Nice to fall asleep to them playing. Will head to Jonesboro this afternoon so I'll be in the same town where my rear tire will be replaced tomorrow morning. Think I timed the wear pretty well.

My kitchen set up for making coffee and oatmeal.
Coffee!
Beautiful Buffalo Point campground.
My bike in front of the pavillion where the bluegrass people played.
Had somewhat of a disaster happen at the Exxon station here. The pump didn't shut off with the gas nozzle inserted into my tank. A fountain of gasoline shot up when it got full. Had to step in and grab the nozzle to turn it off. Got gasoline on my leathers, my hair, my shirt, etc. The gal working at the gas station was amazingly unsympathetic and wouldn't let me use their big sink to clean up so I did what I could in the bathroom. Ugh. Will need to wash my leathers in the bathtub of the motel tonight. Dry cleaners I've called don't do motorcycle leathers. Fortunately the forecast is calling for warm weather while my leathers dry while riding. Guess I'll never rely on the little catch on nozzles to release when the tank is full again. Anyway, will ride a couple more good roads on the way to Jonesboro.
Just another great Ozarks road following a ridge for miles and miles.
My Ozarks map showing good roads in pink and where I rode in yellow. 650 miles of curvy road riding in 2 days. You'd think I'd have enough of this by now. Still more to ride though. Another day...
