HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Saturday, July 4 –
On Tuesday, we biked the Dam Big Bridge Trail.

This bridge across the Arkansas dam is the longest bridge in the USA built specifically for a walking/biking trail.

Marsha was a little hesitant to cross this bridge on her bike....she isn't crazy about bridges anyway! But she did great with no whining.

It joins over 15 miles of trails along both sides of the river. Very amazing and a great trail to bike, hike, or jog…no cars permitted.

We didn't ride the entire trail in the nearly hundred degree heat but got a nice workout and enjoyed seeing all the people using the trail.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see ya'll back real soon. Have a great day!

  2. 100 degree temperatures?? I'm sure glad we're here and not there. That's just a little too warm for me and especially on a bike!

    I left my bike at my son's place when we were parked in a hilly location. Then, we moved without picking it up. I've missed it every day!!

  3. Gee...we didn't ride ANY of the trail in the 90 degree heat! LOL Looking forward to it, though, in the spring or fall. :-)

  4. Oh my goodness...a bike riding dream! I love this trail! A must ride for us in the future. I can't imagine a wide path with no cars and the bridge was awesome.
