Gary,

I have only been in the Ozarks area about four years. I know the roads near where I live but am not that familiar with NW Arkansas.

I will beg off leading a tour as I do not have time to create a route (too many projects, not enough time), even though I have been involved in organizing 1000 mile rallies in the past.

I do not know how your tours are organized but I read in one of my motorcycle magazines about an interesting way that some group tours are organized. The cars start at about one minute intervals. The lead car drives to the first decision intersection and stops to wait for the next car. When car 2 arrives, the lead car sets off to the next decision point and car 2 waits for car 3. In sequence, each car waits at each decision point then drives to the next. This allows each car to drive at the pace they want without being held up by slower cars or holding up faster cars. I have never tried it but it sounds like a great way to organize a tour.
