Enjoyed all the pics..thanks!
Day Three:
My wife Sally came with me and had spent the first 2 days that I rode at the RV park. So I took her and the dogs for a ride along the same route as Day Two. She got to do the Dragon in our truck. We had a great day.

This is why they are called The Smokies.

All in all it was a fun trip and if things align with my schedule I will be back next year and spend a couple extra days riding.

Thanks for the pics Kurt! We really missed not being there this year. Looking forward to next year!
Great pics Kurt ! See ya in a week or so. 44* here in sw Ohio this morn & frost on the ground. Guess we will trailer out to Az.
It took a week of trying but my video of the dragon finally uploaded. The upload that finally worked took over 24 hours thanks to our slow internet. 22 minutes long.
Here it is:

Thanks for the ride on the Dragon Kurt! Not the same as being there though...
Thanks for the ride on the Dragon. This was my first time. See you in 10 days..... Jim
I have never ridden the Tail of the Dragon and saw so little traffic. Thanks for the vidio.
Thanks for the video Kurt, great ride along.
Thanks for the pics Kurt. It was a pleasure showing you the way around. Would love to return the favor but thats too far to go. We have to take it easy for a while so we can afford to go to Texas in the winter.
Jan & John
Great pics Kurt, thanks. I need that to confirm the memory is still intact. :D It sounds like you need to get out of the desert more often.
There should be a group of us there next year that for one reason or another had to stay home this year. We are looking forward to meeting you and your bride.
