Happy 4th of July!

This weekend the United States turns 240. We're looking forward to a long, relaxing (although probably rainy) weekend to reflect and honor the USA. We hope you take time to reflect on our liberty and independence. Our country isn't perfect; but it's better than anything else out there! Sure, we've got problems. But we've also got opportunities to solve those problems.

And this weekend, we'll make time to quietly honor those vets in uniform who have served and fought on our behalf, to keep us free to enjoy those liberties, this independence, these opportunities we far too often take for granted.

Our "Cruise News" newsletter will come out next week when we return from holiday. In the meantime, check out our Ride Maps page and the Cruise The Ozarks "Things To Do" page as well. If you know of some nice events that other should know about, drop us an email to publisher@cruisetheozarks.com and let us know so we can share with everyone.

And, be safe out there on the roads this holiday weekend. There will be lots of traffic. Ride defensively but have a great time riding these great Ozarks highways!

Thank you to all our readers! "Happy 4th of July!" to everyone.
