We arrive at Deals Gap.

 

Where is every one? LOL

It was actually a great day to ride the Dragon!


Chuck's first time at the Dragon


God Bless America





What's up Ralph?

The most organized drink cooler in the history of coolers.



Get your Dragon here!

 

The lookout mid way on the Dragon. The sun is trying to break out and time to lose the rain gear!

Beautiful view looking back down on the dam we were at just before Deals Gap.

Time for some go juice in Tellico Plains and a visit to Cherohala HD.


I was putting in about a 1/2 gallon more in my 117 Stage III every time we filled up over Ralph with his 103.


I ask for free samples every where I go. This lady got me! LOL We took the cardboard with us because Chuck developed a slight primary leak.









Accross the street from the Dealer. They said it is a great place to eat. I'll have to remember it next time.

Up on the Cherohala Skyway

We got in the clouds around 2500 feet and did not come out of them until we got back to Robbinsville.

Had to stop and let Chuck put his rain gear back on as he was cold.

 

Just read through this entire post, thank you for sharing your travels with us. Trips like yours are the reason I bought a touring bike.

 

Day 3

We had our last meal at the Moonshine Steakhouse, packed up and hit the Moonshiner 28.


I picked up breakfast for everyone before we left out for day Three.

On the lake between the two dams.

Fontana Lake and Dam

This is one beautiful place.

 

My wife and I have ridden the Water Falls Trail between Franklin and Highlands twice. It seems to get better everytime. Hurrican Sally brought just enough raide to make Dry Falls roar. It always has water. It's called Dry Falls because you can walk behind it. However the volume of water was so heavy you could not stay dry!

I have great video I wish I could post. The pictures don't do it justice.
