Finally after what seemed like an endless winter we got some
great weather to ride. Lee, Lorie, Ron, Lisa, Mitch, Jason and Larke left Bentonville
at 9 a.m. and started for Muskogee, OK for the annual Azalea Festival. Once we
got into Oklahoma the wind was unbelievable and it was coming right out of the
South which meant right across the bikes. Blew us left and right on the highway
be we made it ok.
The late colder weather has stalled the azalea blooms but
the tulips at Honor Heights Park were beautiful. The Butterfly house will be
awesome as well when the butterflies get here. We spent about an hour there
looking at flowers and then walked throughout some of the park. Would highly
recommend stopping there if in the area. Once everything greens up it will be
awesome.
We then headed down to the local BBQ joint and had a very
good meal. We ran into the local STAR chapter and made some new friends that we will hopefully see during BBBQ. After filling our bellies we headed back home but took time to stop
at the Fort Gibson National Site which is the end of the Trail of Tears. Got to
see some pretty cool stuff and then headed back to Siloam Springs. Ended the
day at Barnett’s Dairyette for some ice cream and then on to the house.
A great day of riding with family.
