A couple friends and I took a few days and ran the 490 mile Arkansas section of the trans American trail ( TAT) this week. I’ve run the western 1/2 in the past and have been all over the central section but hadn’t been East of hwy 65 much.
I’d highly recommend it as a casual get away trip if your looking for something different. We ran it west to east , from NE Oklahoma to NW Mississippi , it uses as much dirt as possible with some rural pavement used when necessary. The maps and GPS tracks are available with a little research , ( that’s part of the fun isn’t it ? )
We could have done it in 2 1/2 days fairly easily but did it in a little over 3 days taking side trips to the Louisiana purchase monument among other cool places that were along the way .
Here’s a few pics in no real order since we all like pics don’t we ? Of course since I’m the one taking pics I never get any of my rig
Sorry about the Jeep pics but Bomar and I had him out numbered, besides that’s Pat Bowen in the gladiator he owns a 55 and 45 and has had about every cruiser available here at one time or the other .
