End of August trip to Barber!
« on: June 06, 2011, 07:16:34 AM »
I'm getting as many of my friends who can put together a bike that can make the trip from NW Arkansas to Barber Museum. As of now we're planning on doing this the last weekend of August(official dates not yet set in stone). With any luck this will be after I have quit my job and am getting ready to move, so I won't be in any sort of rush on this trip. We're planning on camping along the way and once we're there. I'm making this trip for a couple reasons. One, I've always wanted to go to Barber and I'm leaving the country soon, so I better get there while I have the chance. Two, my birthday is August 30th and I haven't really done anything exciting for my b-day in a while. Three, do you really need a reason to ride your motorcycle to Barber? I'll be making this trip by myself if my friends fall through. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in on the ride or just meet up at Barber. I hope to see some of you out there!

How many days you think you will be on the road?

I was thinking 4, but I won't have anywhere to be. I may get distracted if I see shiny things along the way.

I don't think I will have enough time off work by then to join in on the fun, otherwise I'd be up for it.

I was talking to my wife last night and she set a date to defend her PHD. She's defending right after labor day, so she said she'll be real busy that weekend and won't want me around to bother her. So, I think that would be the right weekend for this trip! I just called to make sure they will be open and they will be. Would anyone be able to make this trip with me, or would anyone be interested in meeting at Barber? It's looking like I'm all by myself right now. Even if no one else can make it, does anyone have any camping suggestions or other sites between N.W. AR and Birmingham?
