Day #4.....Deals Gap & Tail of the Dragon/Cherohala Skyway







WOW..........What a day. After waiting for a little over an hour this morning for the dense fog to lift, we rode a little over 350 miles of almost all twisty roads, and I am worn out. It not only is physically exhausting, but mentally too. These roads are very challenging, but fun. I enjoyed the "Tail of the Dragon" so much that I not only rode it once, or twice, but three times. There are literally hundreds of motorcycles riding this road all day long. And the scenery is great too. The trees have begun their yearly changing of color, and believe me..........there are plenty of trees to look at.

In the last four days I've ridden in 6 different states, and a total of over 1600 miles. It should be a little over 3000 miles by the time I get home.

Tomorrow is the Thumper Cafe in Pickens, SC., and then I start for home. I didn't have time today to do the Blue Ridge Parkway, so tomorrow after the rally I'm going to make a point to ride about 100 miles of it as I work my way North and West. Then it's in the saddle for the long trip home.

Depending on my day tomorrow I may not have an update, but I'll try.
