On the road to Arkansas

KSU 0800

Looks like it may rain somewhere along the way, so my perfect sunny day trip may come to an end...oh well

Update...rained in Oklahoma, by the time I got my gear on, an opening in the storm appeared and I just had to endure the rooster tails for a while
Arrived in Ft Smith, Ark. around 3pm. Kind of stormy here also. So went looking for Ralphs pink flamingo BBQ.  As usual this trip, Ralphs is open till 3pm on Tues. Too bad for me, this place was supposed to  be good.
But I did pass a place on my way through town

Neumeier's Rib Room


OMG! Rib Nirvana! This place also calls itself Rib Room and Beer Garden Two levels with the center open air, And a covered STAGE! And they're playing rock and roll! And 25 cent drafts at 5pm!

Ok, the food
I got the combo platter, 4 ribs and pulled chopped pork, fries and beans. I got the ribs dry. Nice dry rub with the regular and spicy (not too) sauces very good. Beans overly sweet, but smoky. Plenty of fries and a Jalepeno in the center of plate
Ribs were moist and smoky and the chopped pork also very good
Band was warming up for this evenings show,,,,Jimi Hendrix
And..fine BBQ people travel in the same circles, Ted Nugent will be there next week. sorry, no pics. Forgot to take SD card out of netbook

Food- A+
Atmosphere- A+
Value- A+

And for those wondering what happened in my search for Bob...well. I searched the Hayes area looking for the sighting area, no luck.  When I got back to the bike I had a passenger


This is Cody, he's from the Colorado herd, how do I know?

He's got a brand

So, Ive got a new co-pilot

  1. It's unusual to get so much rain in early July in Arkansas. It's usually just screamin' hot. Glad you found some good BBQ in the Fort. Just before you get to Russellville there will be a huge concrete tower with clouds coming out of it. That's a Nuke plant where I work. Enjoy the ride to Little Rock. Once you leave there headed east it will make Kansas seem exciting. Give me a shout if you have troubles. DonnieJoe
