    Howdy everyone. Just came back from Marble Fall,AR. We stayed at the HUB:

    The Hub--Mid America's Motorcycle Resort 800-597-9963

    A for motorcycles resort tucked in the embrace of the Ozark Mountains. 50$ a nite for a double. Restaurant on site and Randall and his wife are excellent host's. Affordabel breakfast buffet every morning and rpime rib on Friday and Saturday night.

    Met aproximately 22 other riders in Nashville,TN and we rode safely as a group for 400 miles into Harrison and Marble Falls,AR to the HUB where we met 10-12 more riders. While there we took daily group rides and sat around a Bon fire till the wee hours of the morning. The best part was someone from NC brought 8 mason jars of "Apple Pie". Another made enough bacon explosion for everyone for Saturday nite supper.

    On the way back and after completing 3064 miles and only like 40-50 more to go..45 miles from home my wife got sick and I had to stop and call an ambulance..scared the shiet out of me and her. She was in hospital for 5 days. What a scary way to end the trip. She is home now on 2 weeks bed rest.

    Will post more photos tomorrow. Heres one taken at Nashville and yours truly giving the road safety speil:
