Sorry for the delay. It has been busy since returning but here are some of my photos from my first trip to the Smokies to ride.
Day One:
Weather was spectacular.
US-276
A cool looking barn.
Being from the desert, I don't get to see rivers like this.
Hot Springs at the top of the Rattler.
This is where Dennis (dbltrbl) tried to sell my trike.
Day Two:
Cross Creek RV Park. Very nice place.
The pre-ride gaggle
Heading to the Dragon
There is water everywhere.
Bryson City
Kudzu is taking over in places.
Fontana Lake
No trikes were sold at this stop.
Day Two Cont'd:
I have a thing for water views.
Deals Gap.
The Tree of Shame.
Fontana Dam.
Another Lake.
Enjoyed all the pics..thanks!
New course heading Mr. Sulu: ...2nd star to the right and straight on til morning...!!
Scooter and Sassi....2 furrever.
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.
These Elk had traffic stopped.
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 video Kurt, great ride along.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
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. 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.
