I am headed back to Talimena
I enjoyed the Nightmare's Talimena ride across the mountain tops between Oklahoma and Arkansas. Wife told me that I will have to take her as soon as her foot (surgery) will allow her to climb on the Nomad. Well, she rode for the first time in 2 months yesterday.
So, tomorrow, Thursday 10-9-08, we are headed to Mineola, TX with the RV and the Nomad for a Square Dance weekend. Then Sunday we are headed North toward Broken Bow or Mena. We will find a nice campground and use it as a base camp as we take several days to enjoy the area and hopefully see some signs of fall. If a group gets organized for an October 18th ride in the area we may join in. Then I kind a figure we will head back home to see the grandkids, after being out playing for 10 days or so. Retirement is rough, ain't it. billmac Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Joe "Spork" Sharp is working up a trip leaving Houston Friday Oct 31st returning Sunday Nov 2nd. Brother JD said he was interested, but would have to check vacation availability. My calendar opened and I am planning to go provided my spousal unit agrees to not change the locks while I'm gone. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/GCVROC/ Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Actually doing the Talihina ride with the wife Tomorrow on October 17th. Wife and I have been gone from home for more than a week. She is following me/Nomad and driving our Dually and fifth wheel travel trailer.
We rode in the Mineola area last weekend. Then we spent the last several days in Mount Pleasant cruising around the Tri-lakes. Today we drove up just north of Antlers, Ok to the KRiver Campground. We will do the Talihina ride tomorrow and enjoy the Campground till Sunday, when we plan to return home. |

This morning the wife followed the Nomad in the truck to Talihina. (She was afraid the ride was too far to do it all on the bike). We parked the truck and rode Hwy 63 to Mena. Then we rode the scenic highway back to Talihina. About 100 miles. She enjoyed the trip. We gassed up the bike in Clayton and rode to Mena and back to Talihina. I was on fumes. We put 4.9 gallons in the Nomad at 190 miles. That would have been a bad place to run out. I will know better next time. Since we are pulling out of Kriver in the morning, maybe we can hook up next time. Billmac |

I would say about 1/4 of the trees are turned to fall colors right now. The temps are getting down to the 40's at night. FYI, I put nearly a thousand miles on my bike in the past two weeks. Have a good trip. Bill |
