Nice. My Saturday ride ended at sunset too.I went for a short sunset ride this evening.
I think they will be harvesting the corn soon.
Cool clouds.

I was taking a pic of the clouds and got a jet coming out of huntsville Intl.

I rode to work yesterday. 105° on the way home. Today, I took the truck instead. 106° on the way home.Balmy 58F on the commute into work today. Might have to put my bigger barkbusters and elephant ears on soon.
Ouch!Plane #132 in my third pic had a little incident a couple weeks ago.
I don't really know. The army built a big military post a few miles south in 1942. I would guess they replaced the highway then to make it suitable for large truck/military traffic. The old highway is/was very narrow and snaked around and up the side of a small mountain.You really got around there! How long has OK Highway 10 been out of service?
I knew some of it looked familiar and when you said Warloop road I knew for sure. That was/is part of the TAT I rode many moons ago. Is Warloop still a rock strewn, nosedive, OMG, road or has it been fixed a bit??August 27th, Arkansawyer Mark and I had a good ride in his part of the country. We rode Pannell, Old 12 Crossroads, Warloop (both directions), Hurricane Creek, White Rock Mountain, Shores Lake, Rackley Mountain, and Kimes Tower (I had to list all those cool road names.) We ran into a few road closures that we managed to find a way through, rather than backtracking. Those sections were quite a challenge and somewhat exhausting, not something I would do if riding alone. 134 miles total and the weather was excellent.
We met at the Natural Dam Community Center. An old WPA school.
Pannell Road. This was the toughest of the longer stretches of road.
White Rock Mountain.
This one was washed out.
Mark looking for a line through it - couldn't find a suitable one.
We ended up riding up the side of the mountain and around the wash out. It took us about twenty minutes of scouting routes, moving rocks and logs, and breaking off saplings to make a line. It saved us probably 20+ miles of backtracking though.
Made it!
A neat little forest road bridge.
This one was a mudslide.
This time, we went down the mountainside, past the slide, and back up. Mark is eye-balling a way down.
This tree was the last obstacle of the slide. We were able to squeeze under it.
Bee Rock.
Me in Bee Rock.
Back on the road.
This guy took his half of the road and most of ours. We were happy to share.
Back down Warloop Road. Won't see any logging trucks here.
Lee Creek crossing. This was the lowest I've ever seen it. I've been here six times now. Three of those times, it was too deep to cross.
It turned out to be a really fun day.
They have signs up now saying "dead end" but it's still open. Someone has done some minor work on it recently and it is slightly improved. Very slightly.I knew some of it looked familiar and when you said Warloop road I knew for sure. That was/is part of the TAT I rode many moons ago. Is Warloop still a rock strewn, nosedive, OMG, road or has it been fixed a bit??
