Crooked And Steep
Monday, June 14th, 2021
Bikers in Eureka Springs.
Boy howdy, do they have curves in Arkansas. The Ozarks may not be the Rockies but neither are they the prairie.
Judy and I just spent some time in Eureka Springs and I can’t believe I had no idea this place existed.
I mean, I did know it existed, but only now for about three years. We set out on an RMMRC trip to the Barber motorsports museum in Birmingham, AL, and that was to have been one of our stops. The two of us never got there because we got snowbound for three days in western Kansas, but at least that put Eureka Springs on my radar.
We saw quite a few signs like this one.
Now, we weren’t on the motorcycle, and thank goodness for that. We drove most of the day to Eureka Springs from Kansas City in absolutely torrential rain. And as we drew near, on an already curvy mountain road, we came on a sign that read “Crooked and very steep next 6 miles.” Now? Like not before now?
And then we saw similar signs again and again, with some variation in the wording. They weren’t lying.
This is definitely a motorcyclist’s paradise. Now I just need to get back there on a bike. Hopefully with the sun shining.
