Arkansas Highway 23 is a north–south state highway in north Arkansas. The route runs 24.05 miles (38.70 km) from US 71 near Elm Park north to the Missouri state line through Ozark and Eureka Springs.[2] Between AR 16 at Brashears and Interstate 40 north of Ozark (19.0 miles (30.6 km)), Highway 23 winds through the Ozark National Forest and is designated as the Pig Trail Scenic Byway due to its steep hills and hairpin turns. Then off to Talimena National Scenic Byway.Sorry no pictures from there...but heres a link http://www.talimenascenicdrive.com/

I just beat you by 3, did 731 miles from Detroit, north over the Mackinac Bridge, up to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and back, did it in 14 hours.
Haven't done that ride in quite a few years, and needed to see how the new F6B did on a log day trip. Yep, it did well, the seat is so much more comfortable than my previous bike.
A few things I seem to have forgotten about northern Michigan though, the temperature really drops up there, and the high winds on the bridge will scare the heck out of you.
The mosquitos up there are HUGE!

I recognize that pull off. That's close to Chama. Love that road with the long sweepers!

Exactly, Chama to Tres Piedras. Beautiful run, beautiful country, and pretty empty. The road is getting a little weary in spots, but it's still a delight.
