BBB Fayetteville - Day 4

-
Today we traveled down the pig trail (Hwy 23) and crossed over Interstate 40. Fromn there we drove up to the top of Magazine mountain. Then we headed east over to Hwy 7. At Jasper we headed west on Hwy 74, then north on 43, East on 103 and then north on Hwy 21 to Hwy 62 which took us back to Eureka Springs.

The pig trail is a very twisty highway that runs north and south. I believe that it got its name from when the Arkansas Razor Back football team traveled down the road to compete against another university.

Magazine Mountain has a very fun road up and down it. From the top are beautiful vistas.

Hwy 7 is another known route down Arkansas. Filled with wonderful curves that makes for a great day of riding. Nestled sourth of Jaspar Ark is a Motel/Restaurant called Cliff House Inn. We stopped here for Lunch. The place hangs over the top of a cliff. They have several rooms you can rent, and a pretty decent restaurant. Most people stop there just to have a chance to look out over the Arkansas Grand Canyon.

Sorry no pictures today. Can't seem to add them through the tool. I will add them when I get home.

All total, today we road 309 miles. makeing the total for the trip 1400 miles.

Poem titled "Me Mudder"

-
In honor and tribute to all mothers. This was found on the bulletin board at my grandfathers store in Lotts Creek Iowa. Supposedly found in an old territorial prison in Yuma. -------------------------------- When my prayers were early said Who tucked me in my widdle bed And spanked my ass till it was red? Me Mudder Who lifted me from my cozy cot And set me on an ice cold pot and make me pee if I could or not? Me Mudder And when the morning light had come In my widdle crib I dribbled some who wiped my tiny little bum? Me Mudder Who did my hair so nearly part and pressed me gently to her heart and sometimes squeezed till I'd fart Me Mudder Who looked at me with eyebrows knit, and neatly had a king size fit, When in my Sunday clothes me shit Me Mudder When at night the bed did squeak, me raised me head to have a peek, who yelled at me to go to sleep Me Fadder !

Don't we ever learn from History!

Public Meeting to be held to discusses High-Speed Rail between Minneapolis and Duluth  and could cost between $500 million and $600 million. Didn't we have a passenger train rail line between St Paul and Duluth? Oh yeah... It failed due to lack of ridership. What about the tracks? Oh yeah... They are now bike paths between White Bear and North Branch. Don't get me wrong, I love trains... But they need to be self sustaining... They shouldn't need my dollar! http://kstp.com/traffic/minneapolis-duluth-high-speed-rail-meeting/4057719/?cat=12196

April 8th My birthday and an eclipse

-
This year, April 8th not only represents the completion of my 67th trip around the sun, but it will be a chance for me to experience a solar eclipse totality. Consequently,  I have placed myself in a location to enjoy both my birthday and this solar event. I've heard of the many dire predictions of catastrophic events at the time of the eclipse. Included in this is the Salem Ninevah prediction of Jesus's return. Be assured I'm at peace.  Christ may return at anytime, but that date and time is unknown to man. And if he does surprise us, and comes back monday, I know that I'll walk with him in heaven.  And if the earth shakes and I'm swallowed up in the chaos, my destination will be the same.  I believe that God will not allow this planet to be destroyed while His children still inhabit it.  And if I'm left behind along with the rest of the calamity of survivors digging out, I'm prepared to battle satan while I can. What I am concerned about is what satans min
