Cafe Yum......Grove Oklahoma

We were on the coffee hunt this morning.....found the Cafe Yum which is only open for drive through service, and $$$ cash only please. Two problems, we are out of cash and we are on a motorbike.  Well......debit is just like cash....right? Let's try it. It is such a cute place, nicely looked after so we drive up to the window. The lovely Sabrina opens up her window, "hi! what can I get you?" We say, will you take debit, she is apologetic, but no she can't. We had looked for a cash machine but Wells Fargo is not in Oklahoma! She asks where we are from and after a few minutes she says she is going to give us free coffee, what would we like.  We ended up staying for a good half hour enjoying conversation with her, she was starting to get more customers so after giving her my card ( she will follow my blog) we were on the road again.
Before we left our hotel we discovered that there was a major bike week happening in the area and hotels would be scarce. We had them phone a Best Western down the road and we booked a room, available for the night only.
It was a beautiful ride to Lafayetteville, we stopped in a town called Siloam at a funky little coffee shop reminiscent of hippy days., had a light breakfast and continued on to Lafayetteville. We were seeing more and more motorcycles. We are now in Arkansas, in the foothills of the Ozarks.  Bike week in this area is the 2nd largest rally in America, they are expecting between 400,000 and 500,000 by the weekend! After checking in to our hotel we venture out to Dickson Street which is closed to vehicles except for bikes. The scene is basically a gong show. The university of Arkansas has an area where kiosks of every kind are selling all kinds of biker merchandise. More of the same is on Dickson street. There is a large police presence. There is a college game on at the stadium. The whole town is nuts.
It is not the type of scene we would intentionally attend and we will be moving south in the morning.
