Hey Guys.

I know this is kind of an odd route, but I was hoping someone would have some experience between Tucson, AZ and Fayetteville, AR. It looks like New Mexico would be the toughest for water and distance(NE diagonal route toward Amarillo). I could stick to rural roads in Texas and Oklahoma, but have no experience as to which ones are decent to ride on.

Any ideas?

When are you planning the trip? I live in Fayetteville and can help check the eastern Oklahoma routes if you have questions...

Cool!

Probably in the fall some time, after it cools off a bit, maybe October. I'd like to camp at Devil's Den the last night (former NWA native), but other than that I'll be playing it by ear. Any help with eastern Oklahoma would be great, if you know of anyone who has done some riding out there.

Thanks!

If you can figure out where you will be coming in from the West side of Oklahoma I can try to find a route. Will you be on the north or south of interstate 40? There are only 2 ways to get to Devil's Den (HWY 71 from the East or 170/265 from the West). If you can let me know that I will try to work a route out...
