We woke up this morning to a heavy rain shower in Moberly, MO. The Weather Channel "local on the 8's" radar loop showed rain just over us and clear to the south. We waited as long as we could, and finally just decided to suck it up and go for it. We headed south on US-63. We rode in the rain for about 20 minutes and then got out from underneath it. Down by Cabool, MO we got off the US highway and onto MO hwy 181. 181 was a nice twisty road that was in pretty good condition. We followed that down to Gainesville, MO and switched over to highway 5 and into Arkansas. We ended the day at The Hub in Marble Falls. It used to be part of the
Dogpatch USA theme park.
Here's a few pictures from today's ride.
The Hub....
some of the still abandoned "Dogpatch"
John and I had a meal at the Hub's restaurant "Scooter's" and called it a day.

This makes 972 miles so far this trip, and 334 miles today.
So, did you guys get a massage? haha
ReplyDeleteNo, but John was mumbling something about a happy ending...
DeleteGlad the rain cleared up for you.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if my favorite pic is the second one down of the bridge or the sunset. Too pretty to choose.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy them! I've taken quite a few pictures this trip. This is the best weather we've ever had in our 3 trips down here.
DeleteInteresting Hotel name...The Hub? lol Reminds me of the resident troll at the zxforum site, lol

The Hub.... hehehe except everyone down there was a heck of a lot easier to understand. I hate to say it but the guy gets on my nerves. He must never ride, he spends all his days on the computer.
