[QUOTE="Goodman4, post: 1430904, member: 28933"] Tomorrow the Goodmans are going to do something that has sadly become unusual for us. We are going on a motorcycle ride! With changes in my job and then with all the COVID stuff, we haven't taken any trips since last July. I was travelling to Colorado during the winter every other other week and had planned on getting the FJR out there for lots of rides until all travel got stopped in our business. This year we've been for a few afternoon rides and that is all we've managed. Last fall I took a solo business trip to SC on the FJR via the Dragon, but none of our usual trips we love so much. There's still a 20% chance we could get a 2 week trip in later this year but I'm not optimistic. This is my planned route on the goldwing: [URL="https://flic.kr/p/2jaYPSf"]Ozark 2020 Route[/URL] We have family in Nixa so we will drop off our daughter there and have 4 1/2 days to ride. This is a low number of daily miles for us, but I'm having issues with a right hand sprain so this will be a challenge on all these twisty roads. I've been on a lot of these roads with my nephew but the wife has only been on Hwy 7, 103 and pig trail (23) with me. I haven't done the Talimena or the section of Hwy 7 south of I-40 so that will be new. Also I haven't been over to Eureka Springs. I have done Mt Nebo and Mt Magazine and like both of those a lot. Looking forward to taking the wife there. One benefit of COVID is that we were able to get a room at Mt Magazine lodge which I have been told is usually booked solid so that will be nice. If I can find an inexpensive hosting site that does links again I'll post a trip report later. Extra credit trivia question: What famous fictional person is from Nixa, MO? [/QUOTE]
