All packed for the weekend. We left Muskogee with the intention of staying at Flipping Ar, but ended up in Mt. View Ar. Glad we did.
-
Ended up in a campground in Mt View by the name of Sylamore Creek Camp. Pretty nice place. This was the view out the tent. Saw several nice fish caught in what little time we were at the camp.
-
Grabbed a quick bit to eat Friday night in Mt View. Don't remember the name of the place but dang good burger and a neat decor
-
Got up Sat morning and started wondering. I had heard of a road call Push Mt Road (AR 341) running from just west of Fifty-Six Ar, north to Norfolk Ar. Turned out to be a very nice ride.
-
Another view off 341.
-
After reaching Norfork and wondering around we ran across Greer Ferry Dam just outside of Heber Springs. Lake created by the dam was beautiful
-
Creek located somewhere below the dam. Have no idea where we were...lol
-
Wondered our way back to camp and dinner is served!!
-
Got up Sunday morning and got the camp all packed back in the trailer and the wife and I started home. We travel by the seat of our pants most times when it come to directions and we knew we lived west of where we were so we found a road that went west. Sure glad we did. Been riding Ar for a long time and think we have found a new favorite road. We wonder Hy 14 to Marshall Ar and picked up AR 27 south. 27 has become my new favorite road....

More along 27

More 27
-
Last one.

Anyone looking for a ride I would recommend this area

Think that's a place called The Wingshack. If that's it you found a good place. Fun to visit and good food.

You are correct Don. The Wingshack was the name of the place. We will definitely eat there again. Still a lot of roads in that area that needs exploring, so sure we will end up there again. Looks like that could be a nice area to ride in the fall
-
That looked like a great ride...
-
Does look like a good ride. Like that dinner, too! :2vrolijk_21:

341 is a best-kept secret in these parts. It's not the best long curvy road, but it's a lot of fun. You were close to us when you came thru on 62, assuming you went thru Yellville and Flippin.
Good decision on not staying overnight in Flippin. Not many places to eat an even fewer to spend the night at. Mt. View is a good time, but if you like to have a sip at night, better bring your own in with you. It's a long drive to the nearest liquor store. Like around 50 minutes round trip!
Thanks for taking us along for the ride, brother!

We enjoy just throwing something easy on the grill, kicking back and relaxing. Typically we can find some kind of smoked sausage, or hot link that fits perfectly

I can see us spending a lot more time in that area, lots of roads to nowhere, and when you get to nowhere, you make the decision of left or right.... we decided long ago that you are only lost if your worried about where your at.
We found a campground there in Cotter a few years back that we really enjoy, sits right on the river and first time there we set out tent up under what we thought was an abandon train track, till the train came. I need to find that pic.
Harry you live in a beautiful area

After we moved here, we developed a saying whenever someone would ask us where we were going: "wherever the bike takes us".
Cotter is a cool old town, and the White River is just about clear enough to drink from there. And c-c-cold!
It is a beautiful area, and we're blessed!
Holler at me next time, we'll hook up if we can!
-
Harry your comment caused me to laugh at our first trip to Cotter. We camped under what we thought was an abandoned rail track.
-
There was a noise coming from our abandoned track late that afternoon.
-
You know what makes a noise on train tracks? You can see our tent in the lower left of the picture
-
Pic out the front of the tent. It was sure a funny feeling looking up and seeing the train. Then your mind goes to wondering that a train.....its really heavy....and its over my tent...lol

Dave,
That's funny. Yes, those tracks are still used. Were you aware that just northwest of where you were camping and across the White River, is a 1,000 foot long tunnel where the train goes under Hwy 62? It's a pretty famous tunnel and much wrote about.
Check it out!
