Yes we are still in Missouri but had an absolutely incredible day. Beautiful weather and beautiful roads that twisted and turned and climbed and fell through oak forests along lakes and rivers with little traffic.
We were talking about Branson yesterday so this morning at breakfast decided that we would head south. Explored Branson for a while, lots of theaters with older stars still entertaining. I imagine one day the Stones will have their own theater.
Left Branson and decided to keep heading south into Arkansas. This was because the Rand McNally atlas showed several roads across the top of Arkansas with green dots which we all know means scenic two lane roads.
Spent most of the rest of the day exploring these great roads into the Ozarks then finally back into Missouri and back onto US60. Last thirty miles or so on divided highway then in for the night. An absolutely perfect day for motorcycle riding.
The Ozarks like most of the rest of the country ranges from beautiful homes and resorts to more depressed areas. Several sections are apparently where old Fords and Chevys come to die and rust away in peace. There was also a few where taking out the garbage just means stepping out to the porch and throwing it into the front yard. Met a few other riders on the road today and everyone had a smile on their face.
Finished the day with dinner at Lamperts a Cracker Barrel on steroids. Lamberts Cafe- throwedrolls.com

It's only day 5 and starting to feel a little more jealous...
Keep enjoying those "green dots!"
Love ya,

The more I read your posts, the more I want to go out and buy a motorcycle and start cruising. Harley Davidson should be sponsoring you because your vivid descriptions of these rides will surely sell more Harleys.
