Our trip through the Ozarks!

[Kracka]

Our trip included the Texas Piney Woods, the mountains in Arkansas, and a few bits of Missouri and spanned 4 days/3 nights.

The roads and scenery were simply breathtaking. I don't think we were able to hit 5th gear at all on day # 2 & 3, the roads were so tight and twisty it was nothing but 2nd and 3rd gear with a few short straights allowing 4th gear.

We also found plenty of good food including some Delta-style BBQ and chicken fried steak sandwiches.

This is basically a Nashville, but for the washed-up country music singers. This place is a huge tourist trap/destination, especially for Midwestern seniors. We actually saw quite a few Minnesota license plates while here.

[B.Kiddo]

Nice!

[A//// Guy]

Pics look nice! Glad you didnt find any sandy corners to do some aerobatics. :D

[scheides]

Badass! I'm thinking meh on the boots though. Maybe its the turquoise?

Naa, it normally sits perfect, the trunk was loaded down with 2 suitcases, my full toolbox (never can be too prepared), oil and oil filter, and a cooler of soda/water/beer.

I brought along stuff for an oil change just in case; last week I was having issues getting a Wix oil filter to seal against the housing, but it must have just been a defective filter because both Purolator PureOne and Mobil 1 filters are fine.
