Eureka Springs, Arkansas up to Branson, Missouri. Just doing the Ozarks for 7 days.
Have spent a lot of time in Eureka. Fun little town and very bike friendly. It doesn't suck quite as bad as it used to going through Branson. But it can still be about as much fun as a doctor who wears rubber gloves for good reasons.
If heading to Branson from Eureka consider this. It'll be farther than just taking 23 north to 86 and riding across to Branson; but it'll give a really fun riding stretch. And it's still a short ride.
Either go north on 23 to 86 (MO) then east to 39 then go north to 76. 76 from its junction with 39 on east to Branson West has some fun riding stretches (better than the other E/W options across southern Missouri there). You could also go east out of Eureka on 62 to Berryville (there's a Wal Mart in Berryville if it'll be time to do any shopping) and from there take AR 221 north. 221 in Arkansas becomes 39 in Missouri to go on up to 76. That stretch across 76 can make the trip to Branson worthwhile.
