Beebe ride, an attempt to reach Des Arc.

A few days ago, after all the rain, Zach and I attempted to ride to Des Arc. We didn't make it. We met at Morrilton and then rode on to Conway via I-40. We then rode Hwy 64 to Beebe, Ark. Along the way we passed through Vilonia and saw the destruction caused by a recent tornado. I didn't get to take any really good pics due to the time we had for the ride. I can say this though, unless you were there you just can't imagine how much damage was done. It started at the edge of town and went for a while. It must have been a huge tornado.

We stopped in Beebe at the old train station. Apparently the station is now privately owned unless it's rented because it houses an antique shop now.
I guess Beebe is not really into the preserving history ideology.
We took Hwy 31 South from Beebe and then made an East turn on Hwy 38, going through Butlerville and Hickory Plains communities.

About ten miles West of Des Arc we hit water in the road and were told we would need to make about a 21 mile detour to reach Des Arc. Thats where we decided to save Des Arc for another day. I was wanting to cross the White River and see how bad it was flooded but didn't make it.

Headin home we took 38 W into Cabot and had a Chinese lunch at the King Buffet with my old friend Charle P. Going home we rode with Charles to Hwy 107 N to Vilonia and then back home.The weather was cool to warm that day and riding on the interstate was bad windy. All in all though, a good ride.
