Plenty of hairpin turns posted at 10 mph, 15 mph, and 20 mph, and switchback curves posted at higher speeds to make it very interesting! The ascent grade going up Mt. Nebo is 18%!

Hello All, Tomorrow (Sunday), JulieU and I are doing a complete pre-drive of the Arkansas Three Mountain Tour route. We recently had 5 to 7 inches of rain in this area, and we will be checking out the road conditions tomorrow. None of the roads on our tour route have been listed as being closed by the Arkansas Highway Dept. However, we will carefully check them out so that there will be no roadway suprises on the following Sunday.
If you are unable to attend this 125-mile tour on 14 September, please consider attending our '08 Fall Boston Mountain Tour (approx 270-miles) on 1 November.

Operation Southern Comforts Thread.

If you havent checked out ^that thread, please do. At the Three Mountain Tour, we will be collecting items to send over to Iraq, to support the troops. If you want to help out, make sure you read the list of things to bring and not to bring.

thanks

I hate to say it, but contrary to my earlier post, I'm definitely not in for this. I'm sure it'll be a great drive, but it's just too far to go from Dallas for such a short drive.

you guys have a great time. I've made some alternative plans a little closer to home.

JulieU

It's kewl. Perhaps you can make the November 1st BMT instead.

no, that's why I was excited about an earlier drive this year. My wife's due date is Nov 2. So me being out of town in Oct-Nov is not really an option.

Hello All, Yesterday, JulieU and I made the pre-drive of the entire 3-Mtn Tour route. None the roads (all paved) on the tour were affected by the rains. We have tweaked the route slightly to make it even better and avoid some traffic points. Total tour mileage is 121.3-miles (about 3 hours actual driving time not counting the several stops). The tour lasts from 10:30 AM (registration) to about 6 PM (end of supper).
Parking is limited at the Mather Lodge, so plan to arrive by 10:30 AM to be able to park there. There are no scheduled stops for gas, so please fillup before driving up Mount Petit Jean. Be sure to bring your vidcams and cameras, or you will be wishing you had one.
There are some very challenging switchback curves on this tour. For safety consideration: drivers please do not wear thongs, sandals, loafers, or any other loose fitting shoes on this tour. You do not want foot apparel coming off and getting in the way of your feet during spirited mountain driving!
I am looking forward for us all having a great time next Sunday!
