The curvy, twisting, winding, hilly roads of my past now haunt me. Not because of the memories that lie along the way...not because of the cemeteries we visited...but because the hills, curves, twists and turns of the Ozark Hills in Missouri and Arkansas now make me CAR SICK!!! I NEVER suffered from car sickness in all the years of long road trips along those curves and Ozark Mountains as a child or teenager or since....until the last two trips to Missouri. Now when we are on our way to Missouri, before we even get as far as Batesville, Arkansas enroute my husband takes over driving and says "you may as well go to sleep or you're going to be sick!" So that's what I do and I wake up just before we arrive at my mama's house. How miserable! I have always enjoyed the scenic drive through the Ozark hills and can't even enjoy it the way I once did.
This time when we visited, I found a way to travel my favorite roads and enjoy them once more! We hauled my husband's motorcyle to Missouri with us so we could enjoy riding it while on vacation. We took it all over the country roads along the rivers and guess what!? No headache, no queasiness, nothing! I so enjoyed that cruise from the back of the bike!

Looks fun, but I probably would be petrified!!
next time we need to justify hauling it all the way by driving it more than one day, enjoyed the ride just wish i didn't have to wear the helment
What a great way to avoid the sickness, i am gonna have to give that method a try! I feel for ya on the car sickness stuff!
That does look like a fun ride, Tammy. :) I haven't been on a bike in years but my dad used to have one and we'd get a Saturday ride that was a ton of fun!
My husband would LOVE it if we could go on a ride like that...but I am a motorcycle WUSS. Your pictures make me wish I was less of one...:)
i've got photos JUST like that taken from on the back of my husband's bike! awesome huh?
I can understand about the carsickness, unfortunately, I have experienced it since I was a child. Looks like beautiful country.
