Right in the middle of Cuba Missouri is Hwy 19. The next morning after a plate full of biscuits and gravy we took off south on this road. On our map in the H.O.G. Atlas a motorcycle symbol is imprinted on this stretch of road. Rightly so, for it's an awesome ride. It's a curvy road, but not too curvy that your foot would get too tired from downshifting. We rode up and down the hills. A couple of small towns broke up the scenery now and then. It was very pretty, more so the further south we went. If there was time to spare, there are a few canoe rental places along the way.
Our stop for dinner was in Mammoth Springs, Arkansas. Fred's Fish house, pictured above, had tasty southern fried catfish. Dinner also included hushpuppies, coleslaw, red beans and rice, and fries. Also on the side they served pickled green tomatos, which we never had before. Wonderful dinner.
We rode down to Jonesboro and made a pit stop at the Harley store to get a pin. Then crossed the bridge over the Mississippi and spent the night in Jackson Tenn. The next day unfortunately was our last, but it was a nice ride north of Nashville and on the home. All in all, we enjoyed our adventure to the Osarks. Our only regret was that it wasn't warmer. It took us 3 1/2 days. Next time we hope to go further to Branson. We can dream about it this winter...
