Howdy folks,

come on down to the National Gathering in Fallsville, Arkansas. From
east or west take I-40 to Clarksville Arkansas. There are three exits
at Clarksville, look for the Hwy.21 exit. Go north on 21 into
Clarksville. The Creek Festival is this weekend in Clarksville, lots
of tourists and bikes. Drive slow in town. Follow Hwy. 21 right at
light downtown, about a mile east on Hwy.64/21N. Hwy. 21 leaves Hwy.64
and goes north into the mountains. You will climb about 2000 ft to get
to Fallsville on Hwy.21, it is crooked but a very good Hwy. Fallsville
is 28 miles north of Clarksville. At Fallsville you will come to a
fork in the Hwy. or a "Y" in the Hwy. This is the Jct. of Hwy.16 and
there is the Fallsville Gas Station and tiny store. Very kind locals
run the store and should be greeted warmly and with much love and
gratitude.

Here you will find lots of cops. The road into the site is to the
right of the store 1 3/4 miles. It is the 2nd dirt road on the left.
Just past an old cemetery. Just before the 2nd road you will see the
"Six-Up" Kitchen on the right side of Hwy.21. Just past this police
"Base Camp" turn left into the USFS road block/welcome home. I went in
about 5:00pm and they only checked drivers license of drivers in
vehicle and visual search for open containers. $75.00 fine for open
containers. The Feds are being cool and pretty nice. I got through
quickly. They do have drug dogs so be prepared. If you look like a
problem, they will search you.

A camp is a few hundred feet further. All buses and campers park there
or where ever Fast Eddie says to park. The road down to the river is
windy and steep, but a good road. You can park anywhere you can get
all 4 tires off the road. Parking is tight and the road is lined with
cars and hard to turn around on. If your vehicle is big, or not good
on steep roads then park up top and shuttle/walk in. Road meets the
main trail at the bottom but actually crosses the Buffalo River next
to the family bridge. No one should cross the river. If you don't see
parking, turn around carefully and go back up. I highly recommend
parking up top. We need to keep the road open for supply, etc.
