Thanks Bill. I tried to open it on my computer and it said it was encrypted. Started playing with it a little and got it to "cast" to my TV! Something never done at my house before. Able to watch the ride on my big screen. Ride safe..... Jim

I did that route last month in my truck and it was snowing on top of the mountain.

There is still some snow on the peaks. You going to Maggie valley ?? or was that last year? We are going

Well the other day we did the North Rim of Grand canyon. 105*getting back to hotel in Page,Az. 98-101 yesterday getting to Garden City ks. Made it to Shawnee,Ok today & much cooler. 98 Tomorrow the Talimena National Scenic Byway

I really like the North Rim much better than south. Quite a hike out to the Point ,but you feel like you are in the canyon, 3 sides of view, the finger of this point is about 3/4 of a mile or so out into the canyon.

The oldest bar in Oklahoma, Eischen's Bar, Okarche, OK has wonderful fried chicken. The fried okra is delicious too.

Unless something else comes up we are planning on being there. Will be taking a rather long trip of about 8000 miles.

Last summer one couldn't see across the canyon. The smoke from the fires in CA had drifted eastward and settled in the GC as the air cooled. With little breeze, it just sat there. :gah:

Talimena National Scenic Byway I guess we must have missed something !!??? We all,were disappointed with this ride. Maybe because we had seen so much more out west. Anyway one ride we would NOT do again. O well, can't win em all. 3 days of rest near Little Rock,so my honey can visit her sister.

Talimena

Way over rated IMHO. With the 4 corners states but an easy one day's ride, I am spoiled.

It took only one ride to decide I would never go back, nor have I. The "Pigs Trail" in AR is no better. Those that rave about it have never been to the western half of the US.

Ride in peace, Michael

My plan is to do it in the fall to see the beautiful colors.

Little over 5k on the ride. We scrubbed west Az due to temps. 105 was high enough 103 not much better. 90's most of the trip. We only got wet the 2nd day of ride heading for Zook's place. We were sure hoping for more,later in the trip. Maggie Valley should be better & then maybe a ride to the northern states . Time will tell. Have to go to Florida 1st in mid July for grandson's Natl Soccer Tournament.
