We have another trip to Mena planned for October 6-7-8. Most of the
ones that are planning to go on my end have already made reservations
at the Queen Wilhelmina Lodge. If you think you might even want to go
but aren't sure, you need to get reservations. You can always cancel if
you see you cant make it. The link to the lodge is
http://www.queenwilhelmina.com/lodge/. That lodge fills up real fast at
this time of the year. If you cant get reservations at the lodge, try
the Sun Country Inn. The phone number to the front desk is
877-394-7477.
All are welcome to go and all skill levels are welcome. One of the nice
things about riding the Talimena Scenic Highway is you cant get lost.
There are only two roads that will take you off of the main road on the
whole 55 mile stretch. Don't turn on those and you will be fine. It
will be a ride at your own pace type of deal. If you fall behind, we
usually always stop and group up at one of the scenic turn outs until
everyone catches up. If you are a expert rider, then we will meet you
at the end or meet you coming back. Its a no pressure ride so bring
your bride. We will have several couples on this ride so wife, kids,
girlfriends are all welcome. They have alot of stuff for the kids to do
there at the lodge. They have a playground, a small train that runs
around the park that anyone can ride, they have a animal rehabilitation
center there and some other stuff.
If you like to ride twisties and see beautiful country, you need to go
on this ride. Its a place you will always want to return to.
