Traveled US160 from Poplar Bluff to Cloud 9, 140 miles of great motorcycle road and I enjoyed every hill and curve and still made it here on time. Sue said we averaged 35 mph and she really enjoyed the ride, ha.
The first part of the trip, until we exited the Mark Twain National Forest there were at least 4 or 5 pickups or cars at each trailer or structure, some still had their wheels and some didn't and not more than one would run. In that section I had to stop or slow down, or blow my horn for the dogs in the road mostly hound dogs. Saw one hunt club for fox & coyote so I guess the dogs had a good home somewhere.
One thing I noticed every 1/4 mile were critters dead on the road, squirrels, possums, armadillos, coons, and others, in various stages of squish.
Josh would love this campground there are 600 sites in 5 separate campground areas and covers 10 sq. miles or 6300 acres, with ATV trails everywhere.
Wednesday, September 12, 2007 This morning after our walk we went to West Plains which is 18 miles and got fuel, Wal-Mart, and lunch at Jimmie’s Walleye & Catfish another good old boy restaurant and it was great, we had gone by earlier in the day and could tell it would be good by the number of pickups and cars there for breakfast.
