Roads, trails and rails

I am still blogging about the sights of Oklahoma and Arkansas. I shot so many fantastic pictures during the memorial day weekend trip to the Talimena Scenic Drive, Cedar Lake and the Queen Wilhelmina National Park that it will take some more days before I can finish off the trip. Anyway I am kind of theming my pictures and here are some pictures about the pathways we use to move from place to place. The pictures range from hiking trails, super highways, city roads and even railway tracks. Enjoy and do leave your comments..

Strange Bikes and groups of Bikers in Arkansas


Last weekend we had travelled to Oklahoma and Arkansas. I filed quite a few blogs about the forests I visited in these two states. Being the holiday weekend I got to see hundreds of bikers out with their toys riding the scenic route, up and down the mountains across curvaceous roads. Bikes of all kinds and genres were there, of course most of them were hard core cruisers and touring bikes like Honda Goldwing, Harley Davidson Electraglide, Yamaha V-Star, Suzuki Boulevard etc.
But what caught my attention was this this unique, probably home built three-wheeled motorcycle/ Trike. This has a rear engine and the front is just the seat and handle bar, gear shift is like a car in the center and the vehicle looked very different so I shot three-dimensional views of the bike. Take a look and also at the video which was a brief capture of a group of bikers.

No! the bike doesn't run on these tracks. The toy train runs on these toy tracks around the camping area in Queen Wilhelmina National Forest
