Looks like y'all had a blast! Beautiful falls, for sure
Last Saturday, 8-17-2013, Our TENNESSEE TOI CHAPTER took a ride up to the FALL CREEK FALLS and ROCK ISLAND State Parks using the "Bone Cave Area" to get to and from. We met at SAMPLES FAMILY RESTAURANT in Estill Springs, Tn for Breakfast. The "Weather Folks" were calling for Rain, and it was extremely cloudy causing, apparently, most Members to stay Home. Brave Souls, tommy loso and Wife (Tommy and Barb), and chuck43 (Chuck and Gail) met us for Breakfast and the Ride.....
Then it was out onto Hwys 127, 108, and over to really twisty Hwy 30 for the ride up to FALL CREEK FALLS..."The Dragon" has nothing on about 3 sections of this road... We stopped for gas right off Hwy 287 before going into the Park.....
Then it was on to the Park.....
We chatted until mtn rider (Jerry) came rolling in from Pigeon Forge, Tn to eat with us.....
(L to R)...Gail, Barb, Tommy, Chuck, Mitzie, Jerry.....
After eating, mtn rider headed back to Pigeon Forge, and the rest of Our Group rode down to the FALLS.....
A Few Other Bikes were out also.....
Then it was off to ROCK ISLAND STATE PARK using some "little known to most" Back Roads after back-tracking the most fun parts of Hwy 30.....
(L-R) Tommy, Barb, Mitzie, Gail, Chuck "again".....
Tommy and Mitzie bonding.....
...and "Yours Truly", that "skuuter guy".....
Another GREAT Ride in the "TOI History Books".....oh yeah, and that "Rain Thing" that "Those Folks" were calling for.....didn't happen...we had Great Weather all day.....pepper pepper pepper...did You really think we would plan a TENNESSEE TOI CHAPTER RIDE and then let it rain....of course not.....
..if it has WHEELS, I'm in...ThumbUp
Looks like y'all had a blast! Beautiful falls, for sure

We all had a great day..These roads are for sure the TN. Dragon..What also made this trip so special was our mystery guests....Gail...Chuck...and Jerry ..Ya'll will be welcome anytime..
We sure did enjoy the roads and the folks!! A lot of fun running backroads that Skutter and Mitzi seem to find so easily. Thanks to all for making it a great day!
Skutter, nice ride. We went out last year (or the year before that).....I'm getting old so it all runs together. Beautiful ain't it?
Tommy I noticed your riding suit looks a lot like my barn lot attire that Nana makes fun of, you just need to add a pair of work boots. Nothing like being comfortable.
Wish we were closer to join in on the rides.
Dang I missed another good un
Thanks for the opportunity to ride and enjoy a great lunch with everyone. My wife who doesn't ride said I cant believe you rode 300 miles just to have lunch. HA,ha, if you don't ride you just don't understand. Thanks again for the invitation.
We were glad that we finally got to meet you,Jerry
