Hmmm...I might just have to come to this one. Haven't been to a rally in quite a while.

What about plan B and go to Morrilton ?

 There's three hotels and package stores (none to the towns west).  The Holiday Inn is $80/nite.   Restaurants in town and 25 minutes to the park.   I'd likely ride and leave my travel trailer home.  There are plenty of good roads to get there to avoid the interstate.

Ok.  Do we have a plan for a rally at a definite time and location?

I’m not complaining.  Just confused.

Give me this week to get the location for sure lined up.  There is a motel on the mt. as well (Ceder Falls motel 501 215 8707) it looked clean & old from the outside.  The person at the desk wasn’t around when I was there, the yard man said be their anytime I just didn’t wait.  I need to send Frank money so I can get in the book.Rudy

I've been through Petit Jean State park a few times, excellent riding for sure !!

Here's a few pictures from a visit 10 years ago, on my first Guzzi.

Holly and I have hiked the area a few times and love it. It’s a perfect place to have a rally. I’m looking forward to this one. It will be the first Guzzi rally Holly has been to. She want to give the Breva a try and ride it up there.

I'm planning to go depending on health and weather.  I haven't been to Ark for a couple of years now.  I suppose it's up to finding lodging. I'll be on my Duc. 

Best I can tell, I'll be traveling alone.   That's unfortunate.

I forgot there is a group camping area but it’s tent camping only.  So I didn’t know the number so didn’t book it.  I will let others.  I still have two duplex rented for now at the lodge come on step up.  15 march I will drop the book.Rudy

I was up at St Joe visiting ACE. Brought up the Arkansas rally and he was in, especially if Rudy is putting it on.

Hi new to the forum but not new to riding.  Trying to sort your rally out.
It is in a park the 12 of April.
There are cabins available.  If yes and anyone wants to share a cabin I only need a bed.
