My wife and I need to get out of Minn winter head south ( get in some motorcycle ridding) to someplace you can leave the windows open at night, and sit around a campfire. We are planning to just head south until it warms up, thinking Arkansas so we can attend their rally. But depending on weather we may have to go further East, West, or South,at this point we’re looking for warmth and no white stuff. We welcome ideas/ suggestions for anyone familiar with South Central USA that has ideas for nice camping and motorcycle friendly roads please provide areas of interest. We’re thinking Arkansas,Texas, Louisiana. You can post here, send pm, or send email, just looking for warm rides and friendly roads.
Thanks.

Not a road recommendation, but one thing I will say about rural Arkansas and Lousiana, especially in the flat delta land, is be mindful of the speed limit. For some reason, they have miles of wide open farm road with 55 mph limits. There are troopers down there that routinely pull over swarms of cars doing 65, and write them up. Your out of state plates will be a dinner bell for some of them. :wink:

The run from Talihena OK to Mena Arkansas runs along the Winding Stairs mountains. Old Shongaloo had a good burger stand in the ‘80s, it’s on the LA/AR border east of the ArkLaTex..the highest point in La is Driscoll mountain. We rode to the summit, har har. The western border with Texas around Stonewall was a favorite when we would ride to Zowallie for that fat Zowallie sound on some Saturdays.then to the east to run through the bayou's where we would get lost. We got stopped by fourteen inches of rain once. Found a motel, one room left. I haven’t been there in more than thirty years and that whole area was great riding. Freeways were awful but the back roads are wonderful, especially this time of year when the flowers are blooming. Someone from there will be along to tell us some current good roads. I’d like to ride around that area again
