Catfish Hotel TOI Ride with Pics...

[skuuter]

The TENNESSEE TOI CHAPTER met at Samples Family Restaurant in Estill Springs, Tennessee last Saturday, May 25th to eat Breakfast before heading out to the CATFISH HOTEL in Shiloh, Tn for Lunch...yeah, it was another "TOI Feeding Frenzy" Ride.....



We used Hwy 64, a rolling, scenic, mostly 4-Lane Highway to get us there, passing through Fayetteville, Pulaski, Lawrenceburg, and Savannah, before turning onto Hwy 22 into Shiloh, then the twisty, deadend road leading to the CATFISH HOTEL's Parking Lot on the River.....











We had a Really Great Turnout consisting of Trikes, Motorcycles, and a Scooter.....





Some "Food Pics".....





Here are some "Fossil Remains" of the "now extinct" ShilohCatfishaSaurus"....it is believed to have been eaten into extinction by that vicious predator known as a Skuutersaurus Rex.....



The "CAST".....



Well, another GREAT TENNESSEE TOI RIDE is in the History Books...Like ALWAYS, a Lot of Fun with some GREAT Folks, GREAT Trikes-n-Bikes, and GREAT Food.....next Month's TENNESSEE TOI ADVENTURE will be the TRIKE TALK/TOI ANNUAL RALLY 2013 IN EUREKA SPRINGS, ARKANSAS...we have a Group heading to that one also...Hope to see You there, skuuter.....
