A Motorcycle Museum in Kansas.

On our way through Kansas, we encountered the St. Francis Motorcycle Museum. This museum is a must-see, even if it takes you a few hours out of your way.

A replica of Peter Fonda's chopper from Easy Rider

100+ year old classics... Notice the pans under the Indian. That means there's oil in the engine and this bike is ready to start up!

Two Goldwings... Top is a 1993 GL 1500; Bottom is a 1975 (first year) 1000cc flat four.

1975 Hodaka Road Toad 🐸. Again, notice the pan on the floor. That thing is ready to ride!

This is just a small taste of the gem we encountered. Check out the link under the top picture. Better yet, if you are traveling through the Midwest, stop in and see them! You will find it worth your while, even if you don't ride. 

Just two more posts and we'll have wrapped up this adventure. It was an outstanding trip and has us looking forward to our next one. I don't think it will be very long before we're itching to take to the road once again!

Blessings.

The Ouachitas and the Ozarks

Our final nights before heading back towards Idaho were spent in a cabin at Iron Mountain. 

Staying in a cabin in western Arkansas comes with plenty of perks...

Such as meeting one of the local residents.

We took one last ride along the Talimena Scenic Drive. 

Some of the scenery from the many viewpoints along the way...

On Thursday July 11, precisely one month after our journey began, we packed up and started towards home. We took another scenic route, this time through the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. If you find yourself in Northwestern Arkansas, I highly recommend traveling State Hwy 23 through this gem.

               Angela definitely approves.

We made our way to Joplin Missouri that evening where we experienced a surprise thunderstorm (see Stormy Weather).

Just a few more blog posts to go... Hope you all are staying cool...

Grace and Peace...
