Day 2 - June 28th (Sunday)

We left Mountain Home, AR Sunday Morning. It was a great day... Worship was awesome!




We traveled Rt. 412 across Arkansas into the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee's got took, no doubt about it. There is no comparision to East Tennessee, North Georgia and Western Carolina to this area of Arkansas/Oklahoma. No wonder they call it the "Trail of Tears."

We met up with Route 66 in Tulsa, OK. Along the way, we stopped at Tally's for lunch.


We continue our search for the perfect milkshake. Tally's wasn't bad... better than Patty Ann's.



We're starting to get the feel for the road. The day was not as hot as yesterday (95 vs. 110). The sun was out in full force though and our arms and faces are feeling it.

Route 66 was fun we bounced from interstate to 66 and back. These are pictures of me and Ron in front of Tally's Cafe.



We road through Chandler, OK where the Route 66 Museum is found. We found it closed. One more reason for a return trip.



We pulled into Weatherford, OK about 8:30pm. We rode 435 miles. Very hot and sunny. I think this is going to leave a mark...

Day 1 - June 27th

We left from Franklin at 9am. Wives, sons and friends gathered at Henpeck Market to see us off.

Traveling to Dickson, Waverly, Paris, Martin and Hickman, KY, we arrived at the Hickman Ferry. This is one of the few remaining Ferries across the Mississippi River.



Mid=afternoon found us in Hayti, Mo and at Patty Ann's BBQ. We had Papa BBQ sandwiches and milkshakes...



Just as the sun was going down, we pulled into Mountain Home, AR. We rode 430 miles today. I don't think we'll go that far tomorrow.

Preparation

I'm packing and getting the little things done before the trip. Oil change, wash the bike, load the packs, etc.
I'm glad you're joining me on this trip. I'll post thoughts, pictures, videos, etc. periodically over the next two weeks.
