Houston to Arkansas, the Dragon and Natchez Trace
3400 mile trip from Houston up to the Ozarks, then across Tennessee to the Tail of the Dragon and back to the Barber Museum (AWESOME) and home via the Natchez Trace.

The Barber Museum, just Northeast of Birmingham, is simply AWESOME. An incredible facility and a magnificent collection of bikes of every make and era(and Lola racecars)

Home via the Natchez Trace ... a GREAT piece of road, smooth as glass and NO traffic.

Just curious... I saw your map and it looks like you also rode up around Hot Springs on NC209. Is this where the pic above was taken? Ian
